Conservation and Sustainability

Sette Cama is at the heart of a pioneering conservation effort in Gabon, where responsible tourism directly supports local livelihoods and protects fragile ecosystems. African Waters has implemented strict catch-and-release practices and works closely with Gabon’s National Parks Agency to combat illegal fishing and fund conservation initiatives. Over the past decade, this approach has led to healthier fish populations and a fishery that continues to improve—an exceptional outcome in today’s world.
