Context and Challenges of the Mauritania
Fishing in Mauritania faces significant ecological and economic challenges. This project aims to address these key issues:
- Overexploitation of stocks : Octopus, crucial to the local economy, is at risk from overfishing.
- Destruction of marine habitats : Current fishing techniques severely damage underwater ecosystems.
- Plastic pollution : Tons of fishing nets and plastic waste pollute the oceans each year.
- Sustainable solutions : The introduction of Netless fishing and the Blue Coaster helps reduce environmental impact while promoting a circular and sustainable economy.

Blue Fisheries ® : A Key Innovation for Sustainable Fishing
The Blue Coaster is a versatile and eco-friendly vessel, central to the Blue Fishery project. Designed for sustainable fishing in Mauritania, it operates 100% on renewable energy, emitting zero CO₂.
The Mauritania and the UN Goals
The Mauritania & Blue Fishery Project aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Before this project, we didn’t realize how much our practices were affecting the fish stocks. Now, we have the knowledge to fish more responsibly.
