Fishing is a popular activity throughout Albania. Salt and fresh waters are rich with fish and a variety of aquatic species.
Fishing provides the primary source of income for many of the residents of coastal areas, and has played a role in Albania’s history since antiquity.
As in many areas of the world, Albania’s stocks are at risk from overfishing, and a campaign has recently begun to disseminate information and protect this valuable natural resource.
