Tarfaya – The port of Tarfaya has witnessed a remarkable surge in maritime fishing activity during the first two months of 2025, recording a significant increase of nearly threefold compared to the same period last year.
Recent statistics issued by informed sources at the port show a substantial rise in the volume of fish catches unloaded at the port’s quays until the end of last February. This reflects an improvement in maritime conditions and the abundance of fish stocks in the region.
This notable increase is attributed to several factors, including efforts made to regulate the fishing sector and modernize its fleet, as well as a relative improvement in weather and sea conditions that allowed for an intensive departure of fishing vessels and a bountiful return of catches.
Professionals and workers in the maritime fishing sector have received these figures with great satisfaction, considering them a positive indicator of the sector’s future in the region and the potential for achieving sustainable growth that contributes to the economic and social development of the city of Tarfaya and neighboring areas.
It is expected that this upward trend in fishing activity will continue in the coming months, provided that favorable conditions persist and the efforts of all concerned parties converge to maintain the sustainability of marine resources and enhance the attractiveness of Tarfaya port as an important center for maritime fishing at the national level.
