Add to Lightbox Download

Senegalese traders wait for the local fishermen to bring in the days harvest from their small pirogues in the West Arican city of Ziguinchor, Senegal located in the troubled Casamance region. 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)
