    This fact sheet presents the FISH4ACP programme that promotes responsible and sustainable fishing and processing techniques in Cameroon. The knowledge gained allows fishers to better preserve shrimp nurseries and spawning grounds, and protect mangrove forests. At the same time, fish processors will be able to improve processing practices, resulting in higher-quality shrimp that can be sold at a better price.
