In Lambaréné, Gabon, on the 12th of April 2026, Jean-Daniel Ngye, the president of the Association of Fishermen of Lambaréné (APL), has issued a call to local authorities to enhance the regulation of the export of a fish species commonly referred to as “Sans Nom.”The demand for this aquatic resource has seen a significant increase in Congo-Brazzaville, as noted by the Gabonese Press Agency. Ngye emphasized that while the fishermen specialize in exporting this resource, they are addressing a concerning issue: many of their shipments fail to meet administrative standards. “.
We are experts in the export of this fisheries resource, but we are facing a problematic situation: numerous shipments do not comply with administrative requirements, “Ngye declared. He further highlighted the need for better sectoral organization, expressing his disappointment at how certain actors bypass administrative channels, especially during large-scale catches. “We must work closely with administrations to identify all fishermen and ensure the collection of corresponding taxes, “he added.
Ngye acknowledged that the activity is largely informal and unstructured, which complicates the operations of warehouses that adhere to current regulations. “Several warehouses, often managed by expatriates, do not comply with the existing legislation, “he pointed out. The APL official concluded his plea by advocating for increased support from authorities, suggesting the establishment of a market price regulation system for both fresh and processed fish.
The call for improved oversight comes amidst a backdrop of various other local events in Lambaréné, including the launch of free digital skills training for 1,000 young people, environmental conservation training for over 50 actors, and the election of Mohamed Lemine Cheikh as the president of the syndicate of traders in the Middle Ogooué region. Other developments include a homage to Rose Francine Rogombé in Lambaréné, an indefinite strike by staff at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital, the launch of a taekwondo competition named “Baby Champion, “and the mysterious death of a young woman in the area.
