Oct 11, 2012Pirate Fishing ExposedReadThis report by EJF exposes the continued role of the European Union and East Asian countries in facilitating a market for seafood illegally caught in West Africa. Following a two-year investigation by The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), “Pirate Fishing Exposed: The Fight Against Illegal Fishing in West Africa and the EU” highlights how local fishing communities are fighting back to combat this illegal trade.
During the two-year surveillance investigation, EJF documented rampant pirate fishing in Sierra Leone and laundering of the illegal catch into the European seafood market by vessels accredited to export fish to the EU.

Sep 15, 2012Pair Trawling: Frontline ViewReadPair Trawling: Frontline View
The first video produced by EJF's Sierra Leonean staff who campaign against the lift of the ban on pair trawling, a method of fishing that severely damages marine environments.
Pair trawling - where two boats tow one massive net - is an indiscriminate fishing method, highly destructive to the ocean floor and marine life. Many endangered species, such as sea turtles and seahorses, are caught in the nets and then discarded of as by-catch. Dropped back to the sea dead or dying, they become yet another sad statistic related to pirate fishing.
After their training in camera and editing techniques, EJF staff in Sierra Leone produced their first video in June 2012. This short film on pair trawling in Sierra Leone was broadcast on national TV.

The Environmental Justice Foundation was at the Real Food Festival this year talking to the public, chefs and industry about the Save the Sea campaign and illegal fishing in West Africa.
Alongside EJF's exhibition showing the supply chain of illegal fish from West Africa making its way to Europe and the impacts on coastal fishing communities in Sierra Leone, the event was also a great opportunity for EJF volunteers and campaigners to discuss the issues and ask people why they think it's so important to Save the Sea.
