n d w, as you'll see in the us and shown, but then we keep you up to date on this pre king story. thank you so much for being with us. and we'll be back for more of the top of the i will with mark. i'm gonna try to as well. thank you again the can you see what the old cod myers have to do with the production? here's a heads up. so really indeed the snow on did you choose the a the

basic building of fish, the fishing industry has not seen stand by globalization or industrialization. this shows the fishing has become difficult for these traditional fishermen hold on one of them. what are we? we're into a station, competition is fierce. they sales side by side with industrial colors, the peons and asians are in publishing africa. they are stealing our african fishery of except you're expert the west africa ridge facing a catastrophe, which is a fishing related social problems. and the climate change due to is the,

the fishing industry is facing a historic crisis. kind of not only fish, docs are effective, but also in nutrition. and that has the consequences for africa. the lovely deal that up 2 thirds of the syndicate least population live below the poverty line, where people need jobs to stay as well. or at least the hope of shaping their own destiny. more than 32000 africans reach the community, i was by boat to on the about the split gold, the dog more and more people are setting sail to seek their fortunes on the other side at the atlanta international the of the fish and have long been considered an independent resource in senegal,

favorable ocean currents have created bountiful waters for residents for centuries . the sailors net makers, mussel opener's, bishop processors, bish smokers, mechanics carpenters boat repairmen are a nation of fishermen. millions of senegalese have traditionally lived from fishing

. the, the countries expanding deserts are driving many people to the coast where they hope to work in fishing the cash supplies the entire country with proteins on what was the one spot to be an infinite resource has become increasingly scarce . liberal if we can do for you, ma'am, the mobile, you didn't even used to be able to estimate the number of fish. the fisherman never came home with an empty natural content of for a long time, fisherman could even choose which species they wanted to catch itself. but that has

changed completely. the stocks are collapsing like that species are dying out. should i put them? this is the 1st time i've seen the car rogues on sale instead of going for sale. and i've on the same mind except joseph fisher. my name is monique sans, you have a fisherman who is you have to vote for me to go to see every day i meant a significant amount of one number. i used to make a good living, but that's over now. village. so we have to borrow a man's fuel and money to be insulated. all the different things did the, the to do. i'm gonna say sometimes you come back and have trouble paying it back. sometimes where it see for up to 20 days or a month in cash and nothing. we just end up in data that's and the consequences of

this crisis can be felt up and down the senegalese coast. okay . and then you have a union. well, you definitely may, we believe the fisher supplied by god and will never run out if i'm going to get a new company. but over the last 30 years, we have noticed fewer and fewer fish every year. as commodities. always to blame how many definitely and so at the end but the foreign ships are to blame about the evening going to new and the decision, our cost in our territory by the broken into the and you know, even cash, small fish like sardines, is it your no, no, no figure, i'm a guiding that you find the next when you go over to a new and now it doesn't matter. i'm not even enough resources for our own parole. single good set of optimal got it was

a problem for. and fishing fleets are shamelessly plundering the waters of the atlantic. how has sent a go once the country with a seemingly endless supply of fish been robbed of its greatest resource? the disposal developments began at the end of the 1970s, the under the pretext of securing supplies for its own population. europe began fishing, bountiful african waters, the

only feet. look in your 1st fisheries agreement. same between the european community in senegal, under the little may convention, got a mama will do that google shoulder look. the plundering of senegalese waters began with a handshake the the fishing agreements allowed european vessels to fish in senegal, these waters, and the financial compensation unclear. despite repeated requests from local fishermen, the contents of the agreements has never been made public. the catches were spectacular in the 1980s. european trousers covered by the treaties were soon joined by other ships wanting a piece of the bounty. within just a few years,

ships from all over were soon trolling west african waters. the rate on the atlantic had begun the trawlers dragged heavy nets across the sea, but in the process they destroyed underwater flora and fauna. the senegalese fishermen watched helplessly as the stocks were plundered, their voice could not be heard in the face of the army of industrial fishing is that they destroy everything such and then pro 80 percent of their catch back into the c. i'm at the equally appreciate they were able to fish over $6000.00 tons per day. and one week they called as much as traditional fisheries didn't one year to be the but they were factory ships. the bought to is everything they caught was process directly on

the boat. in the back of the wildest senegalese presidents fraternize with european leaders, the ocean continued to be plundered in the 2 thousands. the situation became increasingly critical for the fishermen. but they were still unable to make their voices heard that you sent a gun. the senegalese government did not want to reverse the fishing treaties of levity. we experience banking crises, us and people's livelihoods were at risk. there were serious problems. people died, but we couldn't talk to our authorities. they were only interested in the money to do while we were interested in the fish. by 2011,

they had had enough. the fisherman's anger erupt. it they decided to stand together against the government of duty, won a president and his 2nd term of office based competition from mackie salt, who promised to rid senegalese waters of foreign ships. the vale knew that there are no more big fish in this country. and at this rate, there will be no more efficient incentives all in 2 years. the we're not thing in the more slogan for the 2012 presidential elections was that no fisherman in senegal would vote for the current regime which had signed the fisheries agreements with europe. our slogan was my boat and my future. after election results rolled in on march 25th 2012 mackey solved became president of the republic of senegal. i shall come back to it. my dear cametrius seems to me,

i am the president of all synagogue least, there are no differences between you. ok, a victory for the fisherman. dollars in clear the output in the all star as you there is an urgent need for action and fisheries. as you did there, i am determined to review the conditions for issuing fishing licenses until packed against a pirate ships that plunder our strong skill keeps the notice of value. mackie saw suspended the agreements with europe. european vessels were no longer allowed to fish in senegalese waters. when the i'd be, we managed to abolish the agreement. we made it all the way to the european union. we fought hard fucking the fishermen, we gained the

and 2 years later in 2014 in senegal. signed a new fishing treaty with the european union this time with their conditions. so they pay me a call. these are the 1st agreements following our new common fishing policy. the treaties were transparent and restricted the authorization of european vessels to areas that the senegalese did not cover such as to and efficient were the problem solved? the reality behind the agreements and the political speeches was more complex. this apparent victory for the senegalese fishermen did not, and the rate on the atlantic loopholes allowed trawlers to navigate around the restrictions.

so in the years, 2000 mid 2000, there was a big campaign and they got to stop deficient agreement. so that happened, the government apparently understood that it was the problem for the fisherman and decided not to renew the agreement to agreement was stopped. so at that time the fishermen were really happy. they sold that as a big victory. but we continued documenting was happening with the european investors and european suites. and what we saw is that just after the time when the agreement was stopped, said for and why see several, several dozens of these investors just couldn't find a way to access any of these waters because it wasn't a more agreement. and so the re flagged to send a guy. so unfortunately, the nice words, if you like, all of this, think of these government of those days, citing when we stop g agreement because there's too much pressure on our resources . these nice words were not followed the

practice of senegal ization stems from a legal loophole that allows for and ships to fly the senegalese flag on paper. the companies that own the ships are 51 percent senegalese but in reality they were strong man hiding owners from other countries. the fraud allows foreign ships to operate in senegalese waters as if they were at home the city. but okay, so by then ships are stationed in the car. they arrive in the car and 24 hours later, the fisher sent to china, or your last you little hope followed by disillusionment. so why would you define you're familiar with senegal ization of above? i can't talk about q one u as if it were a senegalese ship to send it the research,

the owner of the shifting the but you will see that it's chinese that i've seen the, the best. okay. that'd be good to you. so ship travel this route after i left here to visit the signal can no longer be seen from here. if it breaks off. so something is wrong. this means the ship was fishing in this area. so the ministry of fisheries must know that they remain silent for the time of the librium is what it up bishop is, are not near the importance of traditional fishing, cannot be overlooked. to be the point of view, if you look at the number of troops and their primary contribution to food security as good as indigo, i think we've tried the last incident though. they play a certain way, but it's not enough. we have to admit that for a lot of gwinnett county, we will continue to work to secure our resources for them so that they of course,

noticed that our ships participate, park control. we have to keep this up, not confident, but we did take the most of the ships to illegally enter our national watchers duties a positions on down those. oh, it's all automated mind to take the, the while the foreign ships flying the senegalese flag, use legal loopholes. others have chosen to ignore the law altogether. many foreign ships never bother to obtain a permit. they shamelessly plunder the waters in senegal and elsewhere in africa against the law the,

the russian ship, a lake, and a general is a good example of, of the illegal fishing practices uncovered by green peace activists. not only was the ship operating without any authorization, but it also attempted to conceal its name under tarps, of practice, prohibited under maritime law. after his election in 2012, mackie sole and his government began to crack down on these ocean plunderers was your 3 legs made that noise it onto the de the leg 90. 1 of as in the hands of the senegalese government, less than that is being monitored by the national maybe not police. it lies on that . i'm really not sure about we have said commanders who have forced them to return . it is already driven. you see today, guys, tony is also in a gall lose 100. 15000000000. see if a frank every year from illegal fishing, the fish domain yet elicit senegal wins some battles, but the pirates ships are so numerous that it seems impossible to win the fisheries

war. the authorities are no match for the thieves. and as has been the case for decades, senegalese fishermen feel they are being left to deal with the disaster on their own fish docs continue to collapse. the things could hardly get any worse for senegalese fishermen. but they do. in recent decades, china has become the undisputed leader in global fishing the so today, the largest share of fishing vessels off the coast of west africa is the it's the chinese fleet. so in, in 2012, there was

a famous speech by then president who is in town, and he called for building china into a maritime great power. and right after that speech and 2013, the state council elevated the chinese fishing industry to a strategic industry. chinese ships have penetrated the world's richest fishing waters, including near west africa. initial motivation really was food security at that time. you know, china was worried about having enough food to feed this population. and then as time went on, the motivation became more economic interests. there's wanting their companies to make more money. the product code they publish in all the way of the chinese people is a message of health plan which says under development to it is not an inevitable fate mileage and funded to join with a 5 that china is developing and will bring more opportunities to africa can go to africa's development will bring new life china, us developing. it's only single 5 that the chinese fleet has been supported by

a lot of subsidies from the chinese government in order to achieve these aims. and, you know, those subsidies have, have risen overtime and really indicate some of the strength of support for the fleets and how much you know, important. so the chinese place on this, the china is doing today what europe did in the past. like europe, it invokes food security when it sends its subsidized fishing boats out into the world and like europe, it uses troll nets that are particularly destructive the but i'm like europe. there is never beneficiaries agreements between senegal and china. the,

the senegalese government is struggling to ban illegal fishing and over fishing and its waters it appears helpless, but also compliant in the face of the plundering of its marine wells, which hurts its entire population. the senegalese fishermen themselves must take their fate into their own hands and fight for their rights. sometimes by drastic means the judge i may eat foot. i have never shied away from representing the interests of fishermen. but i've never shied away from defending the interests of the people of your wi fi you. i never thought about what might happen to me. one day i said to the fisherman, able to listen when the state won't solve the problem with this, if it's up to us to sorted out, because we're the ones under attack, when we surrounded the ship, climbed onto the deck, what we can pull down the captive in this chinese man, there were 5 of them and we beat them up. then we took the, kept him back to my house and i'm going to kidnapped him up. if someone hits you on

the right to get up, so you can't turn the other one that you have to hit back. but just as hard the, the glazes, when you see this unfair competition, the huge ships, real vehement, switched next to them. the small per rogues. when they see the small boat, they don't but you're not careful the crash into your apartment. i want to see the fisherman doesn't get out of the way you could die.

the fisherman fight with everything at their disposal. the social media is full of incriminating video footage of a legal for in trawlers filmed on the seemingly lawless ocean. their lives are regularly in danger. sometimes local c fairs, work a board foreign ships and are outraged by what they see the gun we're getting. the nice is me is that there are black people and most of the boots i'm getting her. so want to see the other day that the crews don't agree with what's happening. it's not their fault. even those who work on these boots don't like the way things are going. but everyone use a jump to feed their families. because of these chinese bastards were constantly posting on social media on facebook instagram at one time. the see for yourself on their plundering are fish dogs. this is plundering. this is which

you don't mind. so that's why we want to give anyone to help you follow the boot for 12 kilometers because it left with our net. a chinese captain took an iron bar. i'm going to have all the chinese armed themselves and it shows it as and threatened us. that's when i realized that there from here to hurt us. if we got any closer to the boat. at some point they pulled us a who is and sprays my companions with cold water. they did that for quite a while. then they sprayed us with acid, then yeah, i could dig to eventually filled up a lot with acid and diesel, set it on fire and threw sent me. i jumped into the sea food, good duncan gig of ferns and my legs and face resorted. my stomach was burnt. i had burned all over. i have scars all over my body. you little. that's why we don't like the chinese. well,

i was in front of me and i feel like the my name is come them again for i've been working in the pool for 10 years. i knew nothing but this hard work. is that the for bring me the phone? i want to share the photo of outline before them. i'm glad. yeah. his name is, i'm an idea and he is a good son. a son who loves his mother would be i was somebody used to say to his

friends, when will i be able to help my mother nick it for football? one day he got up in the morning a model and when he was at school, he noticed my situation a little he decided to drop out of school, the young eck or cold me later. and just said, mom, i am in morocco to go. i said to him, please come back. i want to see you on the model. he replied to the deal. i no, ma'am. i won't come home empty handed. ma'am you fort for us a. what did you being tired for a long time away for i have held onto my face since the accident. i know that to go to gifts and takes a favor. i put myself completely and go behind the other. come a long way, my way. my thing, naples, he had the the

foreign fishing fleets aren't solely responsible for sending goals. fishing, lowes, a new threat has arisen for many of the west african countries. the death blow for millions of women and men who live and rely on fish fish meal factories. so this big default of visual fish mean is really relatively new. incentive goes to more t. yeah, it's in the last 15 years or so. but that's really easy factor, which i would say is not leading to the collapse of the fishery. the, it's not only the industrial for invest of the to that also some girls off fishing

for fish, me the it's a kind of a story of when steve meant to new ways, because at 1st the fish be company will give a good price of efficient and it will even pre finance the next fishing trip, which for freshman is really important. mean, you're the newman and then when the on the bus one, the someone comes and say okay, i'll pay you to more or less pay for the fuel route. but you give them your fish, and then you see that the price starts to decrease. so after 6 months, 9 months, the fisherman will be paid less than and for the beginning, but the still applies to give you switch to the fish manufacturing. the number of factories along the west african coast has multiply it in recent years. the process

huge quantities of fish into fish meal, which is then exported to europe and asia the 1st victims on the move on to the fishes. but the women, these processes because they are the one that's all deprived of room material due process. the other one you have to watch wise, the fishes uh, going and selling the fish to the fish main factory rather than coming and selling it to the we've been base drying tables are normally covered with fish in the high season. but today they are almost empty. thousands of women were employed here to smoke or dry fish. now they have no jobs. the unions are militantly organizing to draw the attention of authorities to the tragic situation of the women processing fish. because of us outside,

let's hope it goes well. well, the ministries be represented with the government, be there to pick demonstration. okay. and the carrier fishing authorities will be there. the last i'm so let's do that. i mean, we'll send it out to me unless i'm send the bid up with the actual sending us a piece of women, not the main stay of the family in senegal, the main pen, there was the population that we give everything we in this to the household to our children, husbands, and then also, if we didn't raise our voices, if we didn't,

the mom dos ortiz, don't the establishment of fish meals factories special or the women's job in fish processing will eventually disappear for it's already happening. it's the full name of the month. i'm sick. the last the inspection is my, you know, you are the representative of the minister for fisheries and the marine economy please, and tell them in the stuff that the files have been sitting in draughts with too long. from that they are taking too long to process. and then it is the time rare in bolton has to be recognized your daughter. if you look closely there is not a single woman helping, making decisions go the we bind the fish on the beaches and process it. and then they took the market, the the, the families with this was after the male fisherman. women are the

next victims of the collapse of the fishing industry. the family and social balance of an entire nation has been shaken. the pleasing the putting deposits on disappear plus condition meals factories are destructive because they take a we wouldn't ins, jones, and they deprived the population in the interior of the country of parts with their food base with smoked fish or not give them all the fish that used to be processed, smoked and dried to be sold in senegal and west africa. and the guys and i sent the factories to produce fish meal off of an exposure to europe or asia, or next, but also another one of the, the fish exported from senegal. and other countries does not feed people in europe and asia feeds their farm animals. the annual diet of around 30000000 people in west africa disappears into the stomachs of cattle, pigs, chickens,

and salmon. if the true is being threatened by the fact that the fish made factories pumping on the fish coming out of the sea, full precision into fish means for coming to china for coming to no way to feed some of this. we eat on a sunday lunchtime, then it is really something that is going to literally kill the sector, but really a very bad impact on the populations. i big about finding the possible. yeah, there's no such thing as sustainable fish map and being processed. inability does not go hand in hand with the issue of factories or, or contradictory godfrey and another point. the law office center go subsidizes fishing. what are the example that i'll put the price if you introduce sherman can continue to sell fish if it pops up in this fisherman put on the politics is typically spatial by sales or to officially all factory people explore to, to europe. if you'd be repeating some and that feeds europeans, you bought movies senegalese subsidies are helping feed european responsible for

this. despite the fact, the cynical as a country that depends on your opinion, development a ramp would be the the seen some coastal villages, the age pyramid is losing its base. similar to countries at war, men between the ages of 15 and 35 are rare. even though peace reigns in senegal, the missing have left in search of

a better life. the new, the new one. you know, they shipped the news from me until i got to my mother's house, several of the another. glad to do that. i received a phone call and they told me that my son had died in need of that. so i was told on the 9th storage on social media, the menu was very painful to find out about your son's death like that. it's very painful for me to where i came it. i'm in the past the just but it's not only to fish that's disappearing. but also some of the senegalese people, this has consequences for africa, which would be let me just say that initially to achieve chest, the mediterranean is now a graveyard met. that should be this se usually mine,

which was a sea of civilization, unfortunately, become a graveyard for all our young people. do believe that the future lies elsewhere. the median in migration a don't was that so you have the paradox of the african unit or the confidence most important asset to present, to disappointing them yet they do not believe in themselves and in their future here. also problem choose is they want to products and there are no many microphones crossing the sea to us. these people are young, desperate to take great risk for the uncertain chance with a better life. the or the,

the rate on the atlantic is a catastrophe for the fishermen and other senegalese. and yet, there are many men and women who refuse to give up who continue to fight to regain control of their future. to hope that the fish this gift from god will once again thrive in the waters of senegal, the
