"Selling fishing access rights is not unique to Africa. For example, Pacific Island countries like Kiribati earn nearly 50% of GDP from the sale of fishing access rights to foreign vessels. However, unlike African countries, who sell access individually (e.g., Senegal sells to the EU, and separately, Morocco sells to the EU), the nine Pacific island countries comprising the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) sell access to their waters jointly, acting as a cartel or bloc.
