Mauritania's Risky Catch

West Africa's coastal fish stocks are being depleted by foreign fishing fleets from Europe and Asia. Overfishing is threatening the region's fish resources and the livelihoods of the people of West Africa.

For the fishermen of Mauritania, it is getting hard to make a living. Having to venture out further to sea, their small boats are at risk of capsizing in a storm or being overrun by the foreign trawlers.

@TheConormac1 They've been subtitled instead. Turn on the closed captioning option - the little "cc" icon in the bottom right corner of the player - and then you'll be able to see the subtitles.

Why aren't the videos of the native Mauritanians dubbed?

I fear the human population will wake up to this atrocity only when the oceans have been depleted and the natural fish stocks decimated. Rich western nations will finally understand the imbalance they create once no more food (aka live sentient beings) can be provided to the market place. The oceans are such a powerful force in our lives but looks like we're too stupid to understand that until too late. I hope I'm wrong.
