Foreign fishing fleets operate legally in Mauritanian waters under agreements between Mauritania’s government and foreign vessels. Mauritania’s waters are described as among the richest fishing areas in the world. The question of benefit centers on whether Mauritanian fishermen and local communities gain from the agreements or whether the advantages flow elsewhere.
