Kamani well, moderate, the heat that st debate on the problem of official and last but not least, of all had to my law, we to meet, he determined young environmental now im sure we are allowed to eat fish, dont we . Now we said suggest that africans rely on face for an average of 22 percent of the consumption of animal protein. But we have, i think about the sustainability of the industry. Due to poor management and practices to many fish are being caught. So stocks are dwindling. I bet you didnt know that. So we went to a fish market and league us to find out what people there knew about the struggles of the fisherman. Ah. All right, now, did you the clinician of the climate equal shows on today they love the seminar 15 already see digital or anything while a lot of the fish to come outside to eat . What like what i said, because it is maybe the sort of the what that may be to be closer to what to do, what that is. My question. We manage to do a supermarket to buy me. Ok. First of all, those just buy anything you see on the market. Ok. But in a more serious note, you had some of the challenges, climate conditions, pollution. But folks are still trying to survive. We always want to hear from you of us. So we asked how the problem of fission is affecting your part of the world. These are some of the answers we got on facebook. From sarah lune, lets go there fast. We have a comment from Ibrahim Berry who says the pirates ships from china, south korea, spain and portugal are coming to steal, stop power of fish in africa. Ok . Thats a very interesting point to buy him. Well talk more about back in a few minutes. Not comments from me on in cumberland says most african fishermen thing the fish stocks cannot get finished. You might have a point there simeon, because its difficult to imagine a mighty ocean without enough fish, right. By the demand for fish is also incredibly high. Our next report looks more into this and how the competition has gotten intense. Our team headed over to the small fish in town of l. Me not in my home country, ghana, to head directly from the fisherman. 17 kilometers off shore from the guinea and coast for the past 5 or what these men have been braving the choppy swell of the atlantic ocean. But as more and more International Fishing vessels, custom maps into the waters ness of the local fisherman stay empty. Im not happy at all to be we didnt get enough fish. As we were expecting. The waters in the gulf of guinea was once home to one of the wilds most diverse fishing ground and provided a vital tools of employment for many 10 percent of gunners. Population still directly rely on the fishing industry. What, what used to be a thriving business has now become a fight for survival. And i need more know why i called ms. It did a when i request. Its not difficult to stay in business for another feeding the crew and full indic in new has become at that for me. Z or the cobra re sometimes go fishing for troy. We dont cut a meeting because its our profession. We cant stop. Were to walk. Warranty or youd, when its due to me, the main problem facing deficient industry is the activities of chinese wrestles where you run a ccr receive a proper china from huge industrial troll lead have invaded the waters of ghana, ignoring restrictions and plundering crucial fish stocks. Almost 90 percent of these vessels half ties to chinese ownership, the troll, or the scoop up fish from the depths to the surface. What they cant sell on the international market, they sell at damping prices to local fishermen or simply toss overboard it and cycle from if unlicensed vessels, fish, and in our waters are controlled. So the industry can recover my i from java. Its a vicious cycle. The, in their desperation, the fishermen have resorted to increasingly radical methods to increase their catch from using smaller nets to luring the fish with light to deploying dynamite or even poison. But the sad irony is there now also destroying their own livelihood, or your move yacht. Do you see, resume, are we local fishermen go when you also need to stop resorting to Illegal Fishing methods and responds to the action of the foreign fishing, colas wasnt lacorte jesse use and he said the sector started to gain even his activities. Stop one of us, i need to, i did my face and auto manual back and sure. The fight for survival continues. The fish mongers dont let a single cent slip away. They drive a hard bargain even for the smallest catch of the day. Its survival of the fittest. Whats the name . Yeah. Maria may be more any. Im good. Mm. We have no other profession besides fishing the yeah. I absolutely. At the moment our children cant attend school, but he are. We are more grossman warburton, if ya is good, we only have a job if the fishermen catch enough fish i have heard of and that is how we are able to take care of our children were there, youll be may gather some of them. But at the moment, there is no means of survival. Your group is got no food for lazy man again and 12 up which now leaves a bitter aftertaste. Okay, so on that proverb, sometimes its not an issue of being lazy. Is it . Because in this case, they want to work, but there are numerous stumbling blocks at the end of the day, as the young people in these communities will suffer the most. So what can be done about this . After the bumpy ride on the fishing boat, our 77 percent crew met with more people involved in trade. But also in regulating what goes on at sea. Either kamani. Take us through the debate. Ah, the 77 percent is in l. Mena town, a place that is famed for its old portuguese castles, but its also popular for its fishing industry, very vibrant. Unfortunately, that sector is being threatened by illegal unreported and also unregulated fishing. And why is that and who is responsible . Well, no one better to answer that for me than the industry players. And were actually going to begin with richard. Can you please tell me why fishing is so important noticed in almena, but in ghana about 10 percent of gunners population is represented by deficient industries. We have the you and then the children as well, but over the period, ab is moved from generation to generation. But now the fisheries resources are dwindling. So i want to come to nano. You definitely have seen a dwindling as hes described, bit of stocks, but how bad is the situation so many people go to see you come with just a basket. Jesup, on or to or something. The value, not even up to 10. 00 or 20. 00 is, is really, is really a hill. So i want to come to climate because weve mentioned that is no fishes. But we also know that these huge industrial vessels who are here on the same waters, what percentage do they make out of all the fish that is caught . I can tell you that the fishers comission has had a lot of regulations that has been implemented to ensure that this particular issue is killed. We all understand them. Yes. Does drindrat ins dominy . Im donald asked, im go so many industrial vessels, industrial muscles, about 4 years back. The numbers were about 244. As im speaking to you. The numbers are subbing to 6, but all horse come aboard camp last come by. Due to the fact that vicious are using a whole lot of abuse your substances to frish the urine filament. Nokia, none of all those dynamite and all those illegal activities are been peppered, treated by the, an off russia who is now complaining on get go to that, which is no, look at it. Lets get to the issues. And id like to hear from rich i, weve had that is an environmental problem. Weve had that it could be dwindling resources in the seas. But one of the key, once fishermen, i use an obnoxious offences the ddt, diana made life fishing and other things. Indeed, caesar poisonous chemical that is even use in killing rodents. They also used dana mice would be bloss wendy, would go to the sea to where they would em gets the fish from they. But the fisherman, if you speak with them the, explain that well as a result of the industrial fleet because something cycle and see the psycho business. It is the illegal signs shipment of fish i see. And that the fisherman fuel that it is the one that is causing a lot of how walk to them. And that is why they are preaching a wall. So they use some of these substances. All right, now let me come back to you because 1st of all, youve been accused of being a practitioner of all of these Illegal Fishing method. Just we are practicing the legalities. But the point is that bill competition week, almost 100 fishes, almost under competition. And its a livelihood mater, people must. Its so as an officious, due to just as a richard talked about this just due to the fact that vessels all sort of things are competing with them even within the issue as criticism. And what has gone to fish and let me, let me hear from her just because because he was, he was on one of these industrial vessels and you saw something interesting. You observed that these industrial vessels are not necessarily practicing what is lawful using the wrong sized nets and therefore catching fish that they should be catching. And they set out a form that to my, where they are based and then be a good day showed them right size next to them. As soon as they set off, then they used, there are not to rise fishing nets. The Fisheries Commission hasnt blazed. Observers in these vessels, it is the machine that pays them, and so if they are not lucky to observe, oh no, even go, youve had about one person who got missing and the person is yet to be found. You an observer, if you go and you decide to do the right thing, you are frowned upon by the authorities who have placed them. Okay, lets hear from the person from the commission. Now, number one, youre the ones who license these vessels and to be fair, the bulk of the funding that comes from that industry from industrial vessels is from licensing. On top of that, the observers allegedly come back and report things which are not taken up because of all these companies, we decided to pick observers as fish for shows the archive even when i was able to what 41. 00 come to the port. We expect them, then we will not be able to look at any illegal. Net at is enough, is a, some of them that are the same. People that are complaining, they just keep the net for them for free. And i didnt read them at houses and then they sent a note to them. But the issue is that the members will not be able to be with each of the vessels. Youre thank to me that you dont have eyes and ears. Theyre same for the observers. As youve just admitted to me and not always reliable, you dont really know whats going on, ill say, and i always level dot challenges because a human institution, you just dont want to take one of the classes as part of the message. The best way to go is attach certain Video Companies that will be able to get more of their views as high. Shes already speaking of technology, let me Company Manual because what more can be done in terms of technology to improve not just regulation, but implementation of these laws. We have not been able to coin quick successful culture. So these pieces that can i to, i didnt really talk, what did you look at . I got a cockroach or something i would gun. Well regulate, right . Well, investing to, thats one of the options to resolve this problem, right . Nana we, we, we support a quarter, but we, however, disagree with the use of fish to fit. Uh huh. In order to rely on fish mean for oclock watcher. Its all sustainable. Is against you and convention on foot is, is just a threat that isnt officially right justice. This, it is important. The fisherman from other countries was younger ghost, and by insatiable form to mercy, was deceived, visibly dumped, because its juvenile fish, theyre not even meant to be out of the ocean in the fidelity. No company wont desolate bennett well, just a good day to have enough fish rate efficient all edwards and can go in is only we monitor the smart gate. Okay, just to thank you so much because now were getting into solutions. Monitoring of the gear that is being used like fisher folk. So can you give me some solutions of what can be done to help re rejuvenate and revive the ocean . Start to produce our own fish feed within the country and try to produce quality fingerless. Try to make it when alaska Good Opportunity for a commercial business is to take this in up on a loss q rate. It will help. So research and development as you said, a innovation and training. Let me hear from none of because were now looking for solutions before we close. The Key Stakeholders that came in the jonas should be involved in their participation in the decision making, in the governance and in the management of our resources. Fantastic rose letter from you. There should be alternative livelihood for officials methods unfortunate. Some of the fisher folk dont want to die vet from fission. Many people depend on fission business and which will also lead to this kind of official and also the novel fission. Richard, we started with you less close with you, the official folks should do the pots did should add head to the regulations and them the ruin. The laws that are governing would be expected to do so together did officially commission the ministry, theyll be able to protect the livelihood they see that they saw might depend on theyll be able to protect the all right, well thank you so much, oliver justice. I dont want to leave you out, but we only have 30 seconds. Okay. My problem is does love. Shes a man who clear dynamite all these days are being blocked. So if others will want to amuse shem good, will the bus dentist . Where does all sizes come from . But are you jack over the yeah, before that will come out as of right justice has had i have been accused in this debate of asking a simple question with what could be a very powerful answer. And to you, i ask, what is the cost of the fish on your plate . Thank you for watching the i could view the passion in that debate. Great. One banking edith and all those who participated in that debate. I hope you but, and a lot like i did as you want to hear more about this, just go to our Youtube Channel and watch the longer version of that debate. Just dont forget to subscribe and commence. Now lets move away from stephen the fishing industry to protect the environment and meet a very determined young woman from lowie introducing gloria my g guy come over to who has dedicated her life to the fight against plastic pollution. I dont know about you, but in my life, plastic is literally everywhere from stuff i buy in the shops, 2 packages that i owed online. Now in my law we gloria has been pushing for your ban on Single Use Plastics. Best take a look. If you think cleaning up is boring, you havent been to malawi every 2nd friday of the month. The country holds the National Clean up day. Environmental activists gloria my g. G. Camacho has organized a clean up of it in a hometown of land tire. Its always a good conversation starter. When you try to try to disengage it, see what i think its also been a really good way to connect it. Going to show them and let them know its going to take a lot of time for people to actually change how they see things and how they do things. But its quite willing to see them come out and actually be part of the gloria once residence, to take control of their neighborhoods and keep them clean. Some areas dont have any state organized, Waste Collection service. And if they do pick up times irregular in many areas, the trash even ends up in the drainage system according to deal with the plastic waste. Gloria joint forces with a local company. They clean the bottle than shred and melt them. And from this they produce bricks. Entitled with this thing is 60 percent send, it is 20 percent then of plastic and 10 percent bit thicker plastic. And then you get this which is stronger than concrete. The company just moved to a new production facility, so theyve only made a small amount of break so far. Theyre only slightly more expensive than normal break in the long run, the hood to cash in the Cities Construction period, plant eyes population is growing. And so is the Construction Industry if it was up to gloria, they wouldnt be a single bit of plastic on the streets. The 30 rolled works for the center for environmental policy and advocacy. The years they been fighting the Plastic Industry pushing the government and the courts to implement a ban on Single Use Plastics that included a lot of lobbying and protests to drive that went home. We got a bit more aggressive with their, with the might because, you know, dialogue is a good method, but sometimes i think you really need to show that. Listen, were here and you will hear us and you will give us attention that we require. And sometimes dialogue interface can be a bit slow. For her tireless campaigning work, gloria has received international recognition. Her Organization Also helped merge malawi 1st, National Waste management plan. Even below his government is grateful for the activists work and determination. It has to be that pressure for things to have been for movement to have been.
