A gas terminal is causing concern among fishermen in Saint-Louis. The infrastructure is located about ten kilometers from the Senegalese coast. They denounce the loss of a fishing zone and fear for the future of their activity. Senegal, which recently discovered oil and gas resources, nourishes thanks to them the hope of wealth and industrialization.
