A general view of "Baie des Carpes" in Ngor, Dakar, Senegal, on April 23, 2026. Large quantities of plastic and other waste litter the beach. According to a report published today, "Baie des Carpes" is one of the sites identified as "at risk" and requiring significant efforts to maintain water sports activities. A campaign to improve the quality of recreational waters in Senegal was launched today by the Surfrider Foundation Senegal and dozens of organisations along the Dakar coastline committed to protecting the ocean. They are leading a 'Water Quality' programme aimed at ensuring that coastal users can enjoy water-based activities without health risks, whilst contributing to the sustainable preservation of Senegal's coastline.
