Using bottom-gill nets to catch the flatfish which causes minimum effects to environment, and pots and traps to catch lobster and cephalopods. With good stock management over the past years The Gambia has proven to be a good and sustainable source to provide you in high quality seafood products. The social-economic impact of retrieving our products from this sustainable source has made very big contribution to The Gambian economy and welfare of the fishermen, employees and all other business attached to it.
