Cape Verde is a group of 10 islands in the Atlantic Ocean that cover an area about the size of Shiga Prefecture (4,033km2). The islands gained independence from Portugal in 1975. Unable to rely on agriculture due to the dry climate, residents took advantage of their geographical location between Europe and Africa, becoming a relay and supply base for air and sea transportation and deep-sea fishing. Currently, the main industries<\/a><\/span> are fishing and tourism.
