The scientific community recognizes that fishing capacity of many stocks must be reduced in order to ensure the long term sustainability of West Africa’s marine resources. Greenpeace is campaigning in West Africa for the establishment of a sustainable, low impact fisheries policy that takes into account the needs and interests of small-scale fishermen and the local communities that depend on healthy oceans.Related Collections:Year in Pictures 2012 - Broad Edit (All Photographers)West Africa Fisheries Tour and Documentation (Photo + Video)
