basic building of fish, the fishing industry, has not even said fine globalization or industrialization. this shows the fishing has become difficult for these traditional fishermen hold on ones on what are older and fewer station competition is fierce. they sail side by side with industrial colors, the peons and asians are in publishing africa. they are stealing our african fish. we can have access to expert west africa ridge facing a catastrophe, which is a fishing related social problems. and the climate change due to is
4:17 am
the, the fishing industry is facing a historic crisis. not only fish docs are effective, but also in nutrition. and that has consequences for africa. the lovely deal that up 2 thirds of the synagogue least population live below the poverty line, where people need jobs to stay as well, or at least of, of shaping their own destiny. more than 32000 africans reach the community, i was by the boat doing the about the split gold, the dog more and more people are setting sail to seek their fortunes on the other side at the atlantic national the of the fish and

4:19 am
a nation of fishermen. millions of senegalese have traditionally lived from fishing, [000:00:00;00] the the countries expanding deserts or driving many people to the coast where they hoped to work in fishing. the catch supplies the entire country with proteins on what was once thought to be an infinite resource has become increasingly scarce . i live up if we can do for you, ma'am, let me know, but you didn't even used to be able to estimate the number of fish. the fisherman
4:20 am
never came home with an empty natural confidence. for a long time, fishermen couldn't even choose which species they wanted to catch. is that, but that has changed completely. the stocks are collapsing like that species are dying out. should i put them in? this is the 1st time i've seen the car rogues on sale. instead of going for sale of on the wireless, there might excel just sufficient. my name is monique send you the fisherman days you have to boot. so we took out to see every day i meant and i'll send it on i'm for i used to make a good living, but that's over now vanessa. we have to borrow a man's fuel and money to make ends with all the different things did the same. sometimes you come back and have trouble paying it back sometimes where it see for up to 20 days or
4:21 am
a month and catch nothing that we just end up in data that's and the consequences of this crisis can be felt up and down the senegalese coast. the new and then you'll have new. well, you definitely may. we believe the fisher supplied by god and will never run out in front of us again. i mean you come in. but over the last 30 years, we have noticed fewer and fewer fish every year is community. i'm always to blame how many definitely in this one, but, but the foreign ships are to blame, but they didn't go into a new in that decision our coast, in our territory by the broken into the us and you know, dr. digit passcode, even cash, small fish like sardines, is that your no no. but if you now have my guiding that you find the next one to go over to
4:22 am
a new now it doesn't matter. i'm not even enough resources for our own parole. that's a little good side of the optimal value. problem. for in 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,
4:23 am
the only feet. look in the 1st fisheries agreement, same between the european community and center. go under the little may convention guys. a mom will do that google shoulder look. the plundering of senegalese waters began with a handshake the the fishing agreements allowed european vessels to fish and senegalese 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.
4:24 am
european trawlers 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 troughing west african waters. the rate on the atlantic had begun the trawlers dragged heavy nets across the sea bed. in the process they destroyed underwater flora and fauna. the senegalese fishermen watched helplessly as the stops 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 sea and the it would be appreciated they were able to fish over $6000.00 tons per day. and one
4:25 am
week they called as much as traditional fisheries did in one year. today the but they were factory ships, the batteries, 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. the senegalese government did not want to reverse the fishing treaties. whenever we experienced banking crises and people's livelihoods were at risk, there were serious problems. people died. we couldn't talk to our authorities,
4:26 am
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 angry erupt. it they decided to stand together against the government of duty, won a president in his 2nd term of office based competition from mackie salt, who promised to rid senegalese waters of foreign ships. the daily news that there are no more big fish in this country. and at this rate, it will be no more efficient synagogue in 2 years. the, when i bring 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 vote and my future view. after
4:27 am
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 copatrick. it seems to me, i am the president of all synagogues least, there are no differences between you. ok, a victory for the fisherman. dollars in the, in the us 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 and to act against a pirate ships that plunder our strong scott. keeps the notice of value mackie saw suspended the agreements with europe. european vessels were no longer allowed to fish in senegalese waters. 20 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,
4:28 am
we gained out the . c and 2 years later, in 2014, a cynical signed a new fishing treaty with the european union. this time with their conditions, 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 an efficient were the problem solved the the reality behind the agreements and the political speeches was more complex. this apparent victory for the senegalese fishermen did not,
4:29 am
and the rate on the atlantic loopholes allowed trawlers to navigate around the restrictions. so in the years, 2000 me twos has. there was a big campaign and they got to stop deficient agreement. so that happened. the government apparently understood that it was a problem for the fisherman and decided not to renew the agreement to the agreement was stopped. so at that time the fishermen were really happy. they sold that as a big victory. but we continue documenting was happening with the european investors and european sweets. and what we saw is that just after the time when the agreement was stopped, sub for why see several in several, dozens of these investors just couldn't find a way to access any of these waters because there wasn't more agreement. and so the re flag to, to send a guy. so unfortunately, the nice words, if you like all of the, some of these government of those days,
4:30 am
citing when we stop the 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 for and 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 fish are sent to china or your last you little
4:31 am
hope followed by disillusionment. as well as we can defintely or familiar with cynical ization of above, i can't talk about q one u as if it were a senegalese trip to send it the research, the owner of the shift in the. but you will see that it's chinese, that i've seen the number to call you. that'd be good to use the ship travel best route after i left here. yeah. but it is it that 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 is how much, sir, and they remain silent. the time of the living room 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 in ago, i think we've tried the last incentive, though. they play a certain way, but it's not enough. we have to admit that for
4:32 am
a little bit about going to be we will continue to work to secure our resources for them so that they of course, noticed that our ships, this escape our control. we have keep this up another component. but we to take the most of the ships, but illegally enter our national watchers or duties a opposite as it was on donald. oh, it's, or somebody might detected the while the 4 in ships lying, the senegalese black 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
4:33 am
the, the russian ship, a leg. my general is a good example of some of the illegal facing practices on covered 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 mackey sole and his government began to crack down on these ocean, plunderers was your 3 legs made the noise it onto the de the leg. and i don't know if, as in the hands of the senegalese government, i assume that is being monitored by the national maybe not police. it lies on that . i'm really not sure that we have said commandos who have forced them to return. it is already here, really new. se 10 a guy that tony is standing, all loses 100. 15000000000. see if i frank. see it every year from illegal fishing,
4:34 am
the fish, the money, at least you set a goal and wins some battles. but the pirates ships are so numerous that it seems impossible to win the fisheries of 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 dish 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
4:35 am
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, a famous speech by then president who's 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 fully 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 protocol they publish along 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 tell me where to find that china's development and will
4:36 am
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 to 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 you're there is never beneficiaries agreements between senegal and china.
4:37 am
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 m e 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 to 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 for 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,
4:38 am
what we can pull down the captive in this chinese man. there were 5 of them and we'd beat them up. then we took the, kept him back to my house. so now 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, they look, you have to hit back. but just as hard the, the glazes, when you see this unfair competition, these huge ships, real behemoth is what you do next to them, the small per rogue. when they see the small boat, they don't. but if you're not careful, the crash into your apartment,
4:39 am
i want to see if the fisherman doesn't get out of the way you could die. the fishermen fight with everything at their disposal. the social media is full of incriminating video footage of a legal for and 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 north amazes me is that there are black people and most of the boots i'm getting hurt. 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
4:40 am
constantly posting on social media on facebook instagram at one time. the see for yourself on their plundering are fish ducks. this is plundering. this is which. ringback you don't lose, you limit your money. so that's why we pointed out, you've been going to help you follow the boots 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 the assets then. yeah, could you give initially filled a halt with acid and diesel? set it on fire and threw sent me. i jumped into the sea food. good.
4:41 am
you have 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, you know, seen on the mind my name is come them again for i've been working in the pool for 10 years. i knew nothing but this hard work in the foot.
4:42 am
bring me the phone. i want to share the photo of outline before them. i'm like dad, his name is amber 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, for the 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 that one young eck or called 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 models. he replied to me, do i? no, ma'am, i won't come home empty handed. ma'am you fort for us. what was it? you've been tired for a long time away for i have held onto my face since the accident. i know that to go to gifts on takes offense. i put myself completely in god. yeah, let's come a long way my way. hi. my thing need to see how to the
4:43 am
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 like death blow for millions of women and men who live and rely on fish, fish meal factories to these big demons of visual fish mean is really relatively new. incentive go, the 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.
4:44 am
the, it's not only in the industry for invested into that also some girls off fishing for fish, me the it's a kind of a story of enslavement to new ways. because at 1st, the 1st big company will give a good price of efficient and it will even pre finance the next fishing trip, which for, for shipment is really important. i mean, you're the newman then when you own a bunch of money, someone comes and say, okay, i'll pay you to more or less pay for the fuel rude, but you're given 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 until the beginning, but the still applies to give you switch to the fish manufacturing. the number of
4:45 am
factories along the west african coast has multiply it in recent years. the process huge quantities of fish into fish male which is then exported to europe and asia. the 1st victims on milton wants to officials. but the women of these processes because they are the one that all deprived of room material due process. the other one left to watch, washed the fishes ongoing and selling the fish to the fish main factory rather than coming and selling it to the women based drawing 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
4:46 am
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 time. so let's figure that out. for me, we'll send it out to me last time. seem to be that i put the national center for political like women, not the main stay of the family and cynical the main pen. there was the population
4:47 am
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 did, the mom dos already, stop the establishment of fish, male factories specially women's job in fish processing will eventually disappear for it's already happening. it's a fit for me after a month. don't sit there long as you want me to stay on. the inspector is my, you know, you are the representative of the minister for fisheries and the marine economy please, and tell them minnesota that the files have been sitting in draughts with too long for me. but they are taking too long to process, and that is the time brethren bolton's to be recognized your daughter. if you look closely, there is not a single woman helping making decisions. although we find the fish on the beaches
4:48 am
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 to please using the possible for this apiece, plus condition meal factories are destructive because they take a we wouldn't ins, jones, and they deprived the population in the interior of the country, of the cost of their food based with smoked fish or not getting all the fish that used to be processed, smoked and dry to be sold in senegal and west africa, sending guys nice into factories to produce fish meal, off of an exported 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. it feeds their farm animals.
4:49 am
the annual diet of around 30000000 people in west africa disappears into the stomachs of cattle, pigs, chickens, and salmon. if that truly is being threatened by the fact that the fish may factories pumping on the fish coming out of the sea, full precision into fish means for coming to china for coming to know when to feed some of that. we eat on a sunday lunchtime, then it is really something that is going to literally killed 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 and having to be in pasadena ability does not go hand in hand with station in factories or, or contradictory godfrey and another point of office. cynical, subsidize is fishing. what are the examples? and i'll put the price of fuel is reduce, the fisherman can continue to sell fish as it pops up in this fisherman put on the politics, the senegalese phase of our sales are to officially all factory people exported to
4:50 am
europe, europe and simon, the feeds europeans. he bought moves. technically, subsidies are helping future european responsible for this. despite the fact, the cynical is a country that depends from europe and development. a ramp would be the the in some coastal villages. the age pyramid is losing its base of the
4:51 am
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 annual i'm, you know, they shipped the news from me and till 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 nice storage on social media, the manual, it's very painful to find out about your son's death like that. it's very painful for me to breaking it for me in the past the just but it's not only deficient, it's disappearing. but also some of the senegalese people,
4:52 am
this has consequences for africa, which would be let me just say that initially to achieve chest, the mediterranean is now a graveyard. this would be this se, because we might, which was a sea of civilization screw, has unfortunately become a graveyard for all our young people. do believe that the future lies elsewhere, even in migration a don't. so you have the paradox of the african unit, or the confidence most important asset, the present to disappointing them, yet they do not believe in themselves and in their future here. also problem choose is they want to products, there are no many microns crossing the see to us. these people are young, desperate to take great risk for the uncertain chance with a better life. the,
