Two ships leave the harbour at the same time. The Senegalese sailors look at the Chinese crew on the other ship.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20日,塞内加尔达喀尔。福远渔127号上的当地员工在出港时望着一艘中国人的渔船。Locations:Africa-Senegal-Western AfricaDate:20 Jul, 2016Credit:© Liu Yuyang / GreenpeaceMaximum size:6000px X 4002pxKeywords:Day-Fishers-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing vessels-KWCI (GPI)-Men-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Ports-Rear view-Two peopleShoot: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.

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.
