A recent study has revealed the prevalence of nuisance vegetation in Senegal’s waterways. Researchers from the University of Dakar studied the effects of these aquatic plants on Senegal’s fish populations and found that they are having a significant impact on the country’s fishing industry. The presence of these nuisance plants is reducing the available habitat for fish, resulting in a decrease in the number of fish caught by local fisherman. The study also found that there is a lack of effective management of these aquatic plants, and that this is contributing to the problem. The researchers suggest that proper management and removal of these nuisance plants could help improve the sustainability of Senegal’s fish populations and the local fishing industry.
