In May 2018, Lake Toho in south-west Benin experienced mass fish deaths. Since then, locals have pivoted towards aquaculture with support from the West Africa Coastal Areas Resilience Investment Project (Waca ResIP). The results have been encouraging with productivity increasing significantly. This transition aims to boost the national fish production, which is mainly artisanal and accounts for over 75% of the national output.
