The Cornelis Vrolijk holds 23% of the English fish quota. In comparison, small-scale fishermen represent three-quarters of the entire UK fleet, yet they are allowed to catch just 4% of the UK quota. Regardless of the Cornelis Vrolijk flying a British flag and having some UK management, its beneficial owners are Dutch and its catch is landed in the Netherlands. The vessel has historically participated in overfishing on a global scale by contributing to the depletion of fish stocks in West Africa.Locations:Africa-Atlantic Ocean-MauritaniaDate:23 Mar, 2012Credit:© Pierre Gleizes / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3849px X 2561pxKeywords:Aerial view-Day-Fisheries-Fishing (activity)-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing nets-Fishing ships-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Overfishing-TrawlersShoot:Fishing Vessels Off the Coast of AfricaGreenpeace releases a list of 20 ‘monster boats’, examples of the most destructive and oversized fishing vessels operating under European flags, ownership or management. The list features some of the most significant culprits of global overfishing and the destruction of marine life in all five oceans. Overfishing is a global problem with alarming and indisputable consequences: 90 percent of fish stocks are either fully or overexploited. Greenpeace calls on governments to urgently start removing monster boats like those named on the list from oversized industrial fishing fleets around the world.Related Collections:Monster Boats: The Scourge of the Oceans (Photos & Videos)
