Ameth, from Senegal, and Ismael, from Mauritania, are part of a Greenpeace campaign giving African fishermen a voice to speak out against the abuses of overfishing to politicians who will play a part in the reform of EU fishing rules over the next three years. The fishermen were in Brussels as part of a campaign giving West African fishermen a voice to speak out against the environmental and human impact of overfishing by EU fleets in developing countries. They also meet politicians from several European countries who will contribute to the ongoing reform of the EU’s fishing rules; the EU Common Fisheries Policy, over the next three years.
