Raid on the Atlantic - Overfishing and exploitation of the sea | DW Documentary

Stealing food from poor countries.. should be a serious crime.

DW should also investigate overfishing and illegal fishing in the Coast of the Patagonia of Argentina. There are light pollution maps that show parts of the ocean lit up as if it was a big city.

Same problem in South Africa: check the fishing fleets in Cape Town. Local flags but mostly Chinese ownership. All this is a result of the massive corruption driving African politicians. The environment is completely ignored for the sake of money and greed. As far as Chinese fishing fleets, this is a worldwide problem, and you will remember the 200 ships fishing fleet cleaning dry the South Amercian coast around the Galapagos a couple of years ago. In the old days we used to say ''when there is will there is a way'' but now this has become ''when there is money there is a way''.

As if overfishing isn’t bad enough, to do so in someone else’s territory is unconscionable. The continued exploitation of Africa is disgusting.

Heartbreaking how little these big fishing companies care about anyone apart from themselves. These companies NEED to face more controls and restrictions, and the ones without permits need to be captured and taken out of the waters as they do in Australia. I like fish, I am in Europe, but as a consumer I'd be just as happy if they were BOUGHT from the Senegalese themselves.

It's everywhere 😂😂😂. We literally shooting ourselves in the foot here

Here on the Brazilian coast, the situation of artisanal fishermen who live in caiçara communities is identical, they are increasingly living in scarcity and poverty, as predatory industrial fishing has taken over the coastal waters!

Good job DW!

The Chinese raiding your coast.

Another insightful documentary. Thank you for your amazing work.

Explain to me how indigenous Alaskans have not been able to fish salmon for years yet I can find it in my grocery store everyday. Salmon is a vital food source for that population. Make it make sense. If anything it should have come off the grocery store shelves first before we deprived an entire population their number one food source.

Superb and Great work DW!

Ohh my !! That song at the end hits hard. Great work DW

We've been warning about this for years and years. Decades leading up to this.

Informative

This was extremely sad.

I love fish, but I know in the bottom of my heart that going vegan is one of the solution to many of our current problems as humanity/as society.

This is insane. The greed of some people needs to be addressed

Some 6yrs ago as an amateur fisher from shore., I saw seabirds that I’d NEVER seen onshore before… . This is a Very Bad Omen ⚠️

You really should start clarifying when an upload is a reupload, like this one.
