One of the sailors shows a picture on his cellphone of a spinner dolphin (Stenella Longirostris, already dead in the photo). Dolphins can get caught in trawler nets, which catch indiscriminately.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,大西洋塞内加尔海域。一位船员正在展示手机拍摄的以前捕获的长吻原海豚(学名:Stenella Longirostris,照片中的个体已死亡)。这种拖网渔船的作业深度约20米,没有特定的捕捞目标,会将海中的各种生物都捕捞上来。如果捕捞到海豚、海龟等物种,他们通常会扔回海里;然而由于底拖网的捕捞方式,这些兼捕误补的物种轻则受伤,重则直接死亡。Locations:Africa-Senegal-Western AfricaDate:25 Jul, 2016Credit:© Liu Yuyang / GreenpeaceMaximum size:6938px X 4625pxKeywords:Day-Death-Dolphins-Fishing (Industry)-KWCI (GPI)-Mobile phones-Oceans (campaign title)-OutdoorsShoot: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. 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.Related Collections:China's Growing Impact on West African Fishing
