Fishing has been the main source of livelihoods for many communities in northeast Nigeria, especially in Borno State which borders Lake Chad.
However, long-running armed conflict in the region has caused one of the worst humanitarian emergencies in the world. Fishing in Lake Chad has been banned on security grounds, depriving fisherfolk of their livelihoods.
Besides losing income, the local communities were also exposed to food insecurity and malnutrition since they heavily depended on fish as the main source of protein and other essential nutrients. Many fled the insurgency, abandoning their farmlands and fishing areas to seek safety.
