Joint Fisheries Surveillance in Senegal

Crew members with DPSP inspector on deck of the Senegalese fishing boat DAK 1115 / 6WGG / KANBAL III. During a high sea control carried out by Senegalese DPSP fishery inspectors and Greenpeace, the vessel refused for 22 minutes to obey the inspector’s request to stop.
It was later discovered on board that this time had been used to hide away an illegal fishing trick to make the net mesh smaller. Restriction knots attached to net are visible.
