African Voices Tour UK in Cornwall

For the African Voices tour, three West African fishermen come to the UK to reveal the harsh reality behind our hunger for fish: while their communities rely on the seas for vital protein, industrial-sized European fishing fleets are pillaging their waters, leaving little fish to make a living from - let alone feed their families. Abdou Karim Sall from Senegal, Issa Diop from Mauritania and Celestino Oliveira from Cape Verde meet fellow small scale fishermen in Newlyn, Cornwall. By bringing fishermen from Cape Verde, Senegal and Mauritania to Europe, the tour allows them to share their experiences and highlight how industrial European vessels operating in their waters - under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) - are having such a drastic impact on their lives and communities.
