Free-Plastic Ocean and Sustainable Fishing Campaign: Webisode 8 - Amateur fishermen can't get enough

 Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

Welcome to another marine life webisode!

It seems that these amateur fishermen can't get enough.

They remain with their line at the edge of the sea for long hours. Unfortunately they are only catching fingerlings but they do not despair.

We asked them if they haven't been bothered by the taxmen, they said no. The taxmen only fine fishermen who own yachts, they continued...

But why? we asked.

Because they are the ones who make a lot of money here, they catch very big fish, and the police like big fish and money too! they replied.

Africa as a continent is famously known for safari game drives through the vast savannah plains, but that is not all it has to offer; there are a number of destinations with amazing fishing spots and to the travelers interested in sport fishing.

Angola offers up a continent’s worth of fishing opportunities. Now over to you! Have you ever been fishing in Angola?

 Ocean Documentary: What Happens in the Sea with Fish?

Human activity is driving marine life toward the brink of extinction. Overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change have led to the loss of nearly half of the world's marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish in just one generation.

Today's documentary highlights the grim fate of fish once they are caught by human hands. Young fishermen spend entire days at sea, hoping to catch enough fish to ease their hunger. Size doesn't matter—small or large, they catch them all. Often, the fish are kept alive in torment to prevent them from struggling.

Seafood is a crucial food source for the world's growing population, and maintaining healthy fish populations is vital for sustaining healthy oceans. It is our shared responsibility to contribute to sustainable solutions, as the resilience of marine ecosystems and coastal communities relies on responsible fishing practices.

By understanding the life cycles, habitats, and relationships within marine ecosystems, we gain insight into the health of the planet. Human actions and changing environmental conditions will ultimately shape the future of these marine species.
