notes: On 18 January 2019, a group of young sailors from Mahdia took their families and tried to leave Tunisia for Italy in protest against the excesses in the issuance of fishing licenses. Regional authorities intervened to prevent them departing. The seafarers took part in this protest in protest against what they saw as excesses issued by a number of Almtsoji Al Sharafi in the region and the resulting corruption of the fish wealth.
