The estuarine and mangrove ecosystem of the Saloum River Delta is a fragile natural environment. It constitutes an essential element of the estuary's trophic enrichment characterized by the presence of multiple bolongs. The harvesting of marine molluscs (oyster, ark, cymbium) in the Saloum Delta is mainly done by adult women who represent more than 95% of the actors in this sector. The human activities practiced around this ecosystem are multiple: agriculture, fishing, tourism, beekeeping, use of mangrove wood for cooking and housing, empty shells of arches in the construction of roads and houses and the composition of aviculture food. The periods of drought of the last three decades, as well as the multiform aggressions of the environment and the populations on the environment, have profoundly modified the hydrological and bio-geochemical functioning of the mangrove ecosystem of Sine-Saloum and significantly degraded the stocks of marine molluscs.
