Description:The Republic of Sierra Leone is a small (27,925 square miles) West African country (about the size of South Carolina) which gained independence on April 27, 1961. Its coastline of 210 miles faces the Atlantic Ocean and is bordered on the north by Guinea and on the south by Liberia. Sierra Leone claims a 200-mile territorial sea. Its 2.5-million population (1969 estimate) consumes an average of 18 pounds of fish each year. Fisheries, however, account for only 1 to 2 percent of the Gross National Product and are failing to keep pace with domestic demand.
