WEST AFRICA FISHING

Add to Lightbox Download

A boy using a donkey to transport fish to the local markets is splashed by a motorbike on the coast of Mauritania where local fishermen struggle to compete with the huge tankers and trawlers used by the foreign fleets. West Africa has suffered massive overfishing by foreign fishing fleets, with local small fishing boats forced to fish further and further out to sea or to concentrate their activities in sensitive coastal areas. In the last 45 years, foreign vessels, caught an estimated 80 percent of the fish taken from West African waters. The coastal nations took home the remaining 20 percent. And their share may get smaller. (Photo by Ami Vitale)
