Comment la pêche industrielle détruit les communautés

Que se passe-t-il lorsque les poissons qui font vivre une communauté commencent à disparaître ? Le militant écologiste Lamin Jassey explique comment les usines produisant la farine de poisson détruisent les eaux, les moyens de subsistance et la santé en Gambie, et comment les communautés s&#39;organisent pour défendre leurs côtes et reconquérir leur avenir, une prise à la fois.

Industrial fish meal factories in The Gambia are depleting local fish supplies essential for community nutrition and livelihoods. Promises of economic benefits have gone unfulfilled, leading to increased poverty and environmental degradation. Many young people have risked perilous journeys to Europe, and food scarcity has forced a reliance on imported chicken. Efforts are underway to unite regional communities to protect their waters and restore sustainable fishing practices.
