Senegal: Over 6,000 Fishermen Challenge Politicians to Put Communities First

Greenpeace (Amsterdam)-Today, the "My voice, my future" caravan organized by Greenpeace and small-scale fishing communities ended with a call on Senegalese politicians to take into account their concerns over the depletion of fish stocks and the massive impact of foreign super-trawlers on this fragile resource. In the run-up of presidential elections slated for the end of February, communities ask candidates to commit to action, including the termination of licenses for the unsustainable foreign industrial fleet.
