The waters off the 754-kilometer-long coast of Mauritania are among the richest fishing grounds in the world.
In Mauritanian waters the vessels fish outside the 12-miles zone between 20 and 60 miles off the coast-in the so-called Exclusive Economic Zone-and are monitored by local authorities, the Navy and the Coast Guard.

Mauritania EEZ is said to have an abundant fish population thanks to the permanent activity of the Cap Blanc up-welling. This phenomenon results in a phyto planctonic explosion which constitute the basis of an important food chain.
This richness of the Mauritanian waters in halieutic resources can also be explained by the role played by the coastal side of the Bane d'Arguin where the marine fauna finds favorable conditions for reproduction and development
