Nouamghar

Nouamghar lies on the shore of the Banc d’Arguin, where the Sahara meets shallow Atlantic waters rich in fish. The Imraguen fishing communities of this coast have long followed the seasonal movement of grey mullet. Fishers traditionally worked from the shore with nets, taking advantage of shoals driven close to land. Sandbanks, islands and tidal flats make the bay a distinctive meeting of desert and sea, supporting both marine life and people who know its changing waters.
