Role in marine infrastructure
Senegal's fisheries ministry is the national policy authority for fisheries, aquaculture, maritime transport and port infrastructure. Its current official website uses the title Ministry of Fisheries and Maritime Economy (MPEM); the same site still cites the Ministry of Fisheries, Maritime and Port Infrastructure title used under Decree No. 2024-956 and in the July 2025 Cap Skirring launch record. World Bank records identify the ministry as executing agency for the Senegal Natural Resources Management Project, while day-to-day fisheries-component delivery sits with the SENRM project management unit. At Cap Skirring, that makes the ministry and SENRM the owner-side delivery structure; ETIC remains the named works contractor.
