The setting sun reflects off the deep blue surface of the water, Captain Xu sits in front of a window, monitoring the ship’s instruments.The depletion of China’s domestic fishery resources, which resulted from irresponsible fishing activities in China’s coastal water and poor fishery management, has forced Chinese fishing vessels to travel over tens of thousands miles to find fish in other fishing grounds like the one near West Africa. However, if irresponsible fishing activities are travelling together with the Chinese distant fishing industry and a good regional fisheries management body is still absent, the tragedy that happened in China’s coastal water might be duplicated to other fishing grounds wherever Chinese fishing fleets appear.In original language:漂在西非、越走越远的中国远洋渔船2016年7月25日晚上8点,大西洋几内亚比绍海域。黄昏时分,金色的夕阳映照在深蓝色的海面上,徐船长坐在窗前,监视着船上的各种仪器。这艘船配备了声纳、雷达等现代化设备,这些设备大大增强了渔船的捕捞能力;同时,每一艘渔船上还配备了卫星定位系统,以便漂泊在汪洋中的故障渔船能更快地得到救助。Locations:Africa-Senegal-Western AfricaDate:23 Jul, 2016Credit:© Liu Yuyang / GreenpeaceMaximum size:7859px X 5246pxKeywords:Fishing (Industry)-Fishing ships-Indoors-KWCI (GPI)-Men-Night-Oceans (campaign title)-One person-Rear view-SeasShoot:Chinese Fishing at Sea in Western AfricaDocumentation of a seven-days fishing trip to Guinea Bissau waters with a Chinese distant water fishing vessel showing the Chinese fishing operation process and the loneliness of distant water fishing seaman’s little known life onboard. The crew consists of Chinese and African seamen. China’s distant water fishing industry's impact on West Africa’s natural resources and local artisanal fishermen is seen from the unique angle of a Chinese vessel operating in West African waters. The depletion of China’s domestic fishery resources, which resulted from irresponsible fishing activities in China’s coastal water and poor fishery management, has forced Chinese fishing vessels to travel over tens of thousands miles to find fish in other fishing grounds like the one near West Africa.
