A new offshore gas platform has been built in the Atlantic ocean close to where Senegal meets Mauritania.
It's been hailed as a new economic beginning for Africa but at the same time condemned as a new source of pollution.
For the fishermen who have long exercised their profession along this coast, the gas plant is a disaster.
Moustapha Dieng is the Secretary General of a fisherman's union.
With the world facing a global energy crisis, European leaders are likely to grant Senegal's requests to commence mining their fossil fuel.
Sophie Gladima is Senegal's Energy and Oil minister.
She believes that mining these hydrocarbons will bring greater public access to electricity and encourage industrialisation.
However, for Pape Fara Diallo, the promised wealth from mining these fossil fuels is in stark contrast to the reality of the fishermen.
There's already an exclusion zone around the plant, an area which fishermen say harbours the most fish, and they can't venture further north into Mauritianian waters, where they have come under attack from coastguards.
Their traditional way of life is under threat but is there a way they could both thrive?
Dieng of the Fisherman's Union believes not.
