The Greenpeace ship MY Arctic Sunrise is in Dakar as part of the “Protect the Oceans” tour, a year long pole to pole expedition. The aim of the expedition is to raise awareness among decision-makers and the international community of the need to protect the oceans and to safeguard biodiversity and ensure the sustainable use of the resources on which many of the world's poorest and most vulnerable people depend.
In a meeting aboard the Arctic Sunrise with Senegalese authorities, including environment ministries and members of parliament, Greenpeace urges African governments to work towards a strong global treaty for the oceans that could help protect at least 30% of the high seas by 2030.
During the stop in Dakar, the ship also hosts meetings with representatives from West Africa fisheries and local fishing folks and associations, to work together and put pressure on fishery authorities by delivering a clear message to protect the ocean and stop the fishmeal plants.
Other activities include open boat events with school children visiting the ship.
