Fishermen and fishvendors can no longer access the entrance (“watermouth”) of the Port Alto in Guinea Bissau to find (catch) a lot of fish.

[Coleman]

I ni ce, @Caroline! You’re warm and I think that you have all the pieces right, but you’re not quite there Let’s see if anyone else weighs in before the deadline!

Bissau’s ocean access Port Alto, fishermen and fish buyers aren’t able to get lots of fish anymore.

[Coleman]

I ni ce @malikdiallo! I ni baara. N yèrè tun bèna à bayèlèma cogo min na, n bèna o fò sini

[Coleman]

Aw ni ce, @malikdiallo ni @Caroline !

Here’s my two translations:

1. The port of Port Alto in Guinea Bissau — Fishermen and fish buyers aren’t able to get lots of fish anymore

2. The port of Port Alto in Guinea Bissau — Fishermen and fish buyers can no longer get lots of fish

I think the first one is more literal (and basically the same as @malikdiallo’s response), but the second one sounds a little bit better.

Aw ko di?
