Small-scale fishing has resumed along Togo’s coast as of July 10, 2025, after a one-month biological rest. The pause aimed to protect marine life and ensure sustainable fishing practices. Industrial fishing remains suspended until August 31 under national rules. This phased return balances conservation efforts with local economic needs. Minister Damehame Yark commended artisanal fishers for their cooperation. Thousands of coastal families depend on the fishing sector. The rest period is part of Togo’s strategy to fight overfishing in the Gulf of Guinea. Authorities continue promoting responsible marine resource management.
