(...) In principle, any fishing authorization is subject to having a CNSP observer placed on board the ship. The Plan specifies the status of the resource, annual catch quotas, and fee schedules. The 2016 Fisheries Plan revealed that some species have become more abundant as a result of the stricter biological recovery and surveillance measures taken in 2014 and 2015.

Mining |
Relevant information
|
Mining operations have an adverse impact on the protection of natural resources. The gold, bauxite and diamond industry has dangerously affected plant cover and water and soil resources, through various types of pollution and disruption. Small-scale gold mining continues to inflict enormous damage on forest cover, the soil and the subsoil, even to the extent of causing water resources to dry up. In view of the harm and risks, and if the current trend is not reversed, Guinea could seriously compromise the balance of its water systems to the detriment of its own population, present or future.
