  • On a fish factory trawler, fishermen take a break in the galley while processing the crew's catch.<br />

Foreign trawlers and an expanding fishmeal industry are increasingly threatening the livelihood of Senegalese fishermen, forcing many to migrate to Europe.

In Senegal, a new offshore gas terminal, located in the Atlantic Ocean about ten kilometres off Saint-Louis, is beginning to upset fishermen who are lamenting the loss of an area rich in fish. <br />
<br />
A new danger may be looming on the horizon.The launch of gas production is expected to start in 2023. As it draws closer the Secretary-General of the fishing union braces for the worst; meaning the end of any fishing activity in the area.

  • Boatloads of Senegalese fishermen return from setting nets all night.The nation’s fleet of small boats, unregulated until recently, hauls in 80 percent of the catch and supplies about 60 percent of the export market. Senegal’s commercial vessels, foreign fleets from Europe and Asia, and pirate fishing boats add to the pressure; the country’s annual harvest declined.

  • Senegalese artisanal fishermen are miles out to sea in the waters off of Dakar in a pirogue or canoe. With a warm upwelling and perfect nutrient conditions, the Senegal coast is the last of the wild west of fisheries. Senegalese look to the ocean for protein where the Mauritanians to the north look to the desert. Senegalese often raid Mauritanian fishing grounds.

  • Artisanal fishermen off the coast of Tanga, Tanzania drop their traps to sell their catch to a Spanish company, “Sea Products.” Sea Products moves octopus, squid, and cuttlefish to Europe, mostly Italy and Greece. Yet, the east coast of Africa can't feed their own countries with fish. <br />
<br />
“If you buy fish in a store, do you know where it comes from?” asks a recent UN report on the alarming 100 percent rise in fishing piracy over the past decade. “It might be stolen from the poor. It could even have cost lives.”

<br />
Lower greenhouse gas emissions are one of the benefit of long-lining. Also, the seabed is not damaged as it is when trawling. <br />
<br />
Longlines, however, can unintentionally catch vulnerable species and high seas fisheries have been particularly associated with catching endangered seabirds, sharks and sea turtles.

  • Senegalese fishermen haul in nets loaded with fish. With competition intensifying to supply mostly European markets, fishing grounds off West Africa are going the way of Europe’s: toward depletion. These Senegalese, who had hoped to catch desirable export species such as shrimp or sole, will throw away the fish in their nets—wasting valuable protein for Africa.

  • El Molo fishermen send out their nets in the evening just outside the El Molo village of Komote. El Molo are the people of the lake. Everyone else in this area were pastoralists but with pressure from limited resources many Turkana are moving into this community and taking up fishing. Many El Molo are deformed from drinking lake water. The lake has one inlet and no outlet and gets saturated with minerals and high levels of fluoride. This El Molo village is just outside Loiyangalani.

  • These fishermen already have soft bones from high fluoride levels in Lake Turkana. And like all desert water, the lake is vulnerable. Most of the lake's freshwater-some 90 percent-comes from the Omo River. Now the Ethiopians' plans for extensive development along the river, including a massive hydroelectric dam and water hungry sugar plantations, threatens to disrupt the Omo's eons-old flow and starve the lake. In the most dire scenarios, Lake Turkana will over the years slowly shrivel and die, turning the local population into refugees from an African dust bowl.

  • This is a fisherman village right at the edge of the ocean in St. Louis, Senegal.  The authorities have been trying to get rid of this community, but the fishing is the most important aspect of St. Louis and these folks have fought off the government. This time of year they fish at night and are so successful that they have decided amongst themselves to only have half the boats go out each day. The price of fish was incredibly low because there are so many and because these fishermen are so adept at exploiting the resource. Industrialized fishermen pay a license to fish, but then there is no limit for how much they can catch. The artesenal fishermen are not regulated in any way. 600,000 Senegalese participate in the fishing industry. Eighty percent of the fish caught are caught by artesinal fishermen.

  • Crew members from a family fishing operation land approximately 1,000 Coho salmon in the boat from a purse seine in waters near Craig, Alaska.<br />
Alaska’s fisheries are some of the richest in the world, with fishermen harvesting hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of salmon, crab, herring, halibut, pollock, and groundfish every year. However, overfishing, exploitation, and poor fisheries management in the ‘40s and ‘50s took a heavy toll on the industry. The state adopted drastic measures that saved the fishing industry from collapse. Tough times again hit the fishermen in the 1970s as the number of boats grew and increasingly efficient gear depleted catch levels to record lows.<br />
Permit systems and reserves helped the commercial industry recover in the late ‘70s—a trend that has continued to the present because of cooperation between scientists and fishermen.<br />
Fishermen and loggers rank in the top two spots for most dangerous jobs. Both are common lines of work for people in the Alaskan outdoors. Since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking fatal occupational injuries in 1980, there were 4,547 fatal work injuries in 2010, and fatality rates of some occupations remain alarmingly high.

  • A fishing brigade on the Bolshaya River south of the town of Oktyabrski where men make a fish camp out of a beached, ocean-going vessel.  They are not fishing on this day because it allows time for the fish to spawn, and indigenous communities up river in Kamchatka can fish in the area along the Bolshaya River. <br />
<br />
Fishing brigades use tractors to tow one end of a net and then bring it around full circle in the river to capture the fish. A net is  dumped into small boats that have small nets laid in them. A crane picks up the small nets and dumps them into trucks that take the fish to the processing plants in Ust Bolsheretsk. If fishing was allowed every day in the mouths of these rivers just off the Kamchatka shelf, no salmon would get up river to spawn. There are two “passing days” each week when fishing is banned, so these fishermen hang out in their camp and do their laundry. Some fishermen come from as far as Ulan-Ude, which is on the border with Siberia. One of the fishermen in this photo is from PK, two are from Urilutsk, Siberia, and two are from Oktybrski.

  • Father and daughter share a tender moment on their boat which is home for the family during fishing season off the coast of Prince of Wales Island in Alaska’s Southeast. When not the fishing for salmon, the family lives on nearby Marble Island and the children are home schooled.<br />
Alaska’s largest and most valuable fisheries target salmon, pollock, crab, herring, halibut, shrimp, sablefish, and Pacific cod.<br />
The total value of Alaska’s commercial fisheries is $1.5 billion for the fishermen, with a wholesale value of $3.6 billion. Economists estimate the commercial seafood industry contributes $5.8 billion and 78,500 jobs to the Alaskan economy. Fisheries management in Alaska is based on scientific assessments and monitoring of harvested populations and is regarded as a model of successful natural resource stewardship.

<br />
Although low on the food chain, jellyfish thrive and are an important substitute food source as the other species decline.<br />
<br />
Salted and dried jellyfish, however, have long been considered a delicacy by the Chinese. Fish ecologists say where stocks of large fish collapse, jellyfish proliferate, impeding recovery of stocks by feeding on larvae and eggs. They also compete for food such as zooplankton.
