Reopening of fishing in Katanga date : 01/03/2010     Now that fishing has reopened, our NGO BAK wants to congratulate the provincial authorities on their management during its closure period. This ban, sometimes difficult to apply, is not always popular but is indispensable for the survival of fish populations. Teams of BAK had the opportunity to repeatedly visit the lake Tshangalele, the Lufira, the Lualaba and the Luapula. During all these expeditions, we were able to notice that the closure laws were being adhered to. BAK looks forward to seeing the beneficial effects that this closure will have had on the fish populations. The world of conservation has to congratulate its Excellence the Governor of Katanga as well as his administration for this beneficial initiative for the fishing capital of the region.
