Baro, Guinea, 1st May 2015: Baro village is be above the proposed level of the Fomi Dam and will be receiving people displaced by the dam. Fishermen, Lancine Conde, (O2 shirt) 36, with one wife an 3 children; Lamine Conde, 28, (red and black t-shirt) with one wife, 2 children; Mory Conde, 34, (purple top), one wife, 2 children; Mamady Conde, 40, (basketball shirt) one wife, 6 children. April is normally a good month for fishing because the river level is low, but at the moment there are few fish because people have been cutting down trees along the river bank, reducing the shaded areas where the fish like to breed. People from nearby Kouroussa village also come here to fish using fine nets – which are illegal – to catch the young immature fish before they can become adults. “We have raised this with the fish licensing authorities in Kouroussa but nothing has been done. We catch carp, catfish and other types of fish”. “We all know about the dam and we’re happy to receive the displaced people. The fishermen amongst the displaced will help us control the Kouroussa fine-net illegal fishermen. We will also be able to fish in the dam lake.”
