Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Pantai Paradise yang pernah terkenal dengan pasir emas dan air yang jernih kini telah menjadi zon mati dengan berjuta-juta ikan yang membusuk. Keadaan ini dihubungkan oleh penduduk tempatan kepada kilang makanan ikan yang dibina oleh pihak China. Walaupun kilang ini menjanjikan pekerjaan dan penyelesaian kepada krisis bekalan makanan global, implikasi terhadap alam sekitar dan kesan negatif kepada penduduk setempat menjadi kebimbangan utama. Seorang wartawan, Ian Urbina, telah melaporkan tentang pelanggaran hak asasi manusia dan pencemaran yang berlaku di kawasan perikanan, mencetuskan kesedaran tentang keganasan yang dilakukan terhadap lautan.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:14:08

    Kawasan pantai selatan Afrika Barat adalah rumah kepada kepelbagaian marin yang luar biasa dan merupakan sumber ekonomi penting untuk berjuta-juta penduduk yang bergantung pada perikanan. Namun, perikanan industri asing telah menyebabkan penurunan populasi ikan yang ketara. Walaupun penternakan ikan digunakan sebagai penyelesaian, ia bergantung kepada makanan ikan yang diperoleh daripada sumber liar, yang menyumbang kepada penurunan yang lebih teruk lagi ikan di lautan. Keadaan ini mencerminkan dilema di mana penggunaan akua budaya berpotensi mempercepat masalah yang seharusnya diselesaikan.

    The water has been found to contain excessive arsenic, phosphates, and nitrates, well above safe levels.

  • How do fish meal factories impact local tourism?

    The factories release foul odors and pollution, deterring tourists and harming the local economy.

  • What are the risks for journalists covering this issue?

    Journalists face potential assault and aggression from factory employees when trying to report on the issues.

  • What is the role of China in this situation?

    China's demand for fish meal has driven the establishment of these factories, prioritizing economic gain over environmental health.

  • Who is Ian Urbina?

    Ian Urbina is a journalist who runs The Outlaw Ocean Project, investigating crimes in the maritime industry.

  • What has been done to combat the pollution?

    Activists have attempted to destroy wastewater pipes dumping toxic substances, but were often met with arrests.

  • What is aquaculture?

    Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms, often framed as a sustainable solution to food supply issues.

  • Why is aquaculture not solving the fish stock depletion problem?

    Aquaculture relies on fish meal, which is made from wild-caught fish, exacerbating the depletion of ocean stocks.

    my name is Ian urbina
  • 00:01:57
    as a journalist I've spent the past
  • 00:01:59
    decade reporting from this Lawless
  • 00:02:01
    Frontier
  • 00:02:02
    I run an investigative journalism
  • 00:02:04
    organization called The Outlaw ocean
  • 00:02:06
    project that reports about crimes
  • 00:02:08
    happening in this space

    this is the outlaw ocean

    500 kilometer Coastline of West Africa
  • 00:02:41
    is home to some of the most diverse
  • 00:02:43
    Waters in the world
  • 00:02:45
    it's also economically vital to the
  • 00:02:48
    region
  • 00:02:50
    more than 7 million people from
  • 00:02:53
    Mauritania to Liberia rely on fishing
  • 00:02:55
    for their livelihoods for centuries
  • 00:02:58
    artisanal fishermen worked in tandem
  • 00:03:00
    with Nature's rhythms abundant fish
  • 00:03:03
    maintained healthy local Fisheries then
  • 00:03:07
    industrial fishing by foreigners began
  • 00:03:15
    we have to start perhaps in
  • 00:03:18
    1880 when the Brits deployed the first
  • 00:03:23
    steam trollers and they emptied around
  • 00:03:26
    the British Isles the talks of fish that
  • 00:03:29
    had accumulated over centuries in a
  • 00:03:33
    decade or so and they had to fish
  • 00:03:35
    further offshore and basically that
  • 00:03:39
    phenomenon
  • 00:03:41
    reproduce itself in every country of the
  • 00:03:45
    world
  • 00:03:49
    the biomass the amount of fish in the
  • 00:03:52
    Universe has declined we have wiped out
  • 00:03:54
    90 of the big fish and that that is very
  • 00:03:58
    hard for people to conceive
  • 00:04:01
    [Music]
  • 00:04:07
    with the depletion of at Sea Starks a
  • 00:04:10
    hopeful solution emerged fish farming on
  • 00:04:13
    land
  • 00:04:14
    [Music]
  • 00:04:23
    aquaculture is often framed as both
  • 00:04:26
    sustainable and a scalable way to feed
  • 00:04:29
    the world but there is a catch industry
  • 00:04:32
    routinely chooses to feed powdered wild
  • 00:04:35
    fish to their farmed fish in order to
  • 00:04:37
    fatten them up and sell them faster fish
  • 00:04:40
    meal is a very inefficient food source
  • 00:04:43
    that actually worsens depletion of ocean
  • 00:04:45
    fish stocks rather than slowing it
  • 00:04:48
    fish meal is a product that you get out
  • 00:04:52
    of fish that little fish they are ground
  • 00:04:54
    up they are not treated like fish in for
  • 00:04:58
    human consumption and they are put in
  • 00:05:00
    grinding machine and they are then dried
  • 00:05:04
    is in a reduction plant and then you get
  • 00:05:07
    powder

    [Applause]
  • 00:05:22
    with Relentless demand from China
  • 00:05:24
    pushing fish meal prices to record highs
  • 00:05:27
    companies have set their sights on West
  • 00:05:30
    Africa as a new source of supply
  • 00:05:32
    Gambia is the target
  • 00:05:35
    stocks are still relatively robust
  • 00:05:37
    compared to the rest of the oceans it's
  • 00:05:40
    one of the world's poorest nations with
  • 00:05:42
    the least monitored National Waters
  • 00:05:50
    my team and I joined local journalists
  • 00:05:53
    Mustafa Mane who has spent years
  • 00:05:56
    investigating the impact of 14 fish meal
  • 00:05:58
    factories that have popped up in Gambia
  • 00:06:01
    and neighboring countries
  • 00:06:03
    uh where are we right now we're at uh
  • 00:06:07
    just close to the Bollywood Factory do
  • 00:06:10
    you think it's safe for me to try and
  • 00:06:12
    sneak some shots with this phone it's
  • 00:06:14
    worth it it's really risky because you
  • 00:06:17
    can be attacked you can be assaulted
  • 00:06:19
    they are very aggressive because they
  • 00:06:21
    don't compromise okay
  • 00:06:24
    should we put the cameras away or come
  • 00:06:26
    at us put the camera down
  • 00:06:33
    not only does the industry create food
  • 00:06:35
    security issues but it also destroys
  • 00:06:37
    local tourism with rancid smelling
  • 00:06:40
    emissions and pollutes local Waters as
  • 00:06:43
    the factories dump toxic waste
  • 00:06:45
    [Music]
  • 00:06:48
    a local TV crew filmed images of the
  • 00:06:51
    process
  • 00:06:52
    but what was deeply concerning and not
  • 00:06:55
    exposed were the levels of chemicals the
  • 00:06:57
    factory used to turn fish to dust
  • 00:07:01
    the effects on the environment were
  • 00:07:03
    catastrophic
  • 00:07:04
    water has turned red and the fumes were
  • 00:07:07
    toxic
  • 00:07:12
    microbiologist Ahmed manjong analyzed
  • 00:07:16
    the water and found it contained double
  • 00:07:18
    the amount of Arsenic and 40 times the
  • 00:07:20
    amount of phosphates and nitrates deemed
  • 00:07:23
    safe
  • 00:07:24
    locals destroyed a pipe that was pumping
  • 00:07:26
    waste into the ocean
  • 00:07:28
    activists were arrested but the pipe was
  • 00:07:32
    restored
  • 00:07:32
    [Music]
  • 00:07:41
    why do you think they can get away with
  • 00:07:43
    operating Above the Law because Gambia
  • 00:07:46
    is in serious political Deck with China
  • 00:07:49
    [Music]
  • 00:07:52
    okay
  • 00:07:54
    hello what's going on you good
  • 00:07:58
    I went to monjong's home he's the
  • 00:08:01
    microbiologist who had tested the toxic
  • 00:08:03
    Waters he's also now a leader in the
  • 00:08:06
    opposition to the factories
  • 00:08:08
    they lost control of the average
  • 00:08:11
    this meal are taking the protein
  • 00:08:14
    away from our dinner tables so what's
  • 00:08:17
    that going to happen we're going to have
  • 00:08:19
    a malnouris Invasion anyway we are
  • 00:08:21
    taking the natural one giving it to the
  • 00:08:23
    Chinese they convert it into powder send
  • 00:08:26
    it to China feed the fish chip and bring
  • 00:08:28
    it to together
  • 00:08:30
    at an expensive price the the Bunga fees
  • 00:08:33
    we we see now will disappear and that
  • 00:08:35
    will be a disaster for this community
  • 00:08:38
    [Music]
  • 00:08:45
    the ocean conservation group Sea
  • 00:08:47
    Shepherd began to patrol gambian Waters
  • 00:08:50
    to help the local Coast Guard I was
  • 00:08:52
    invited on board
  • 00:09:05
    ran at it got there and suddenly it's
  • 00:09:08
    the vessel that we were most interested
  • 00:09:11
    in because it's connected to this really
  • 00:09:13
    sketchy fish meal plant online
  • 00:09:18
    foreign
  • 00:09:34
    this is a vessel that like had its
  • 00:09:37
    transponder off so it was already a dark
  • 00:09:38
    vessel
  • 00:09:40
    but even worse
  • 00:09:41
    it had no fish log
  • 00:09:54
    the fishing vessel's got to have a
  • 00:09:56
    navigation log which is their positions
  • 00:09:58
    every day where they fish the quantity
  • 00:10:00
    of fish you can see the last entry here
  • 00:10:02
    was on the 21st of January
  • 00:10:06
    and then there is nothing then which is
  • 00:10:09
    a this is a dark ship who knows where
  • 00:10:12
    they fished
  • 00:10:20
    he's saying that he's saying that they
  • 00:10:22
    can't start going to Ben Juliet he needs
  • 00:10:24
    two hours to make some repairs I've seen
  • 00:10:27
    the boat ring all morning and see if
  • 00:10:29
    it's a delay attacking okay
  • 00:10:35
    the captain of the ship was not
  • 00:10:37
    particularly cooperative and the Sea
  • 00:10:40
    Shepherd crew and the gambian fishery
  • 00:10:42
    and Navy officers told him he was under
  • 00:10:44
    arrest and ordered him to bring his ship
  • 00:10:46
    into port
  • 00:10:51
    [Music]
  • 00:11:01
    and then the second vessel was ten times
  • 00:11:03
    worse
  • 00:11:04
    and there was this space it was like a
  • 00:11:07
    crawl space where all these guys were
  • 00:11:09
    sleeping at night
  • 00:11:20
    very close here but what the water still
  • 00:11:22
    is coming
  • 00:11:25
    [Music]
  • 00:11:26
    things rattle me these days but but for
  • 00:11:30
    some reason
  • 00:11:31
    that space really rattled
  • 00:11:36
    [Music]
  • 00:11:43
    the local fishermen
  • 00:11:45
    he also testified that these guys have
  • 00:11:48
    been crawling very very close to the
  • 00:11:52
    show on top of that the living
  • 00:11:54
    conditions there are really not for
  • 00:11:57
    humans
  • 00:11:58
    before animals but not for you
  • 00:12:00
    [Music]
  • 00:12:06
    we saw how rules were broken with
  • 00:12:09
    impunity to meet government imposed
  • 00:12:11
    quotas but also how these trawlers
  • 00:12:13
    fished well beyond demand of the fish
  • 00:12:16
    meal factories leading to massive
  • 00:12:19
    discarding of dead fish back into the
  • 00:12:21
    ocean
  • 00:12:22
    the over catch is left to rot in the
  • 00:12:24
    waters or on the beaches like in Gambia
  • 00:12:28
    we Harvest fish the same way that is
  • 00:12:31
    similar to using bulldozers to catch
  • 00:12:34
    rabbits and if you use bulldozer to
  • 00:12:37
    catch rabbit you you will have no Forest
  • 00:12:42
    our use of aquaculture is ironically
  • 00:12:45
    accelerating the very problem we set out
  • 00:12:47
    to solve
  • 00:12:48
    rather than slowing the depletion of
  • 00:12:50
    fish stocks aquaculture is speeding it
  • 00:12:53
    up because of fish meal and ultimately
  • 00:12:55
    it is the poor and our oceans that
  • 00:12:58
    continue to pay the price for our
  • 00:13:00
    ferocious appetite
  • 00:13:03
    I will run and come back but I will
  • 00:13:05
    never stay away because I believe one
  • 00:13:07
    thing that is if government is destroyed
  • 00:13:09
    it's destroyed for us and the Gambia is
  • 00:13:11
    made is made for us and I always ask
  • 00:13:13
    myself one person that is what is going
  • 00:13:16
    to be my answer if my children or my
  • 00:13:18
    grandchildren happen to ask me what way
  • 00:13:20
    are you doing when all this
  • 00:13:21
    environmental distance is happening I
  • 00:13:23
    always want us to have the answer and
  • 00:13:25
    that's the main reason that's why I keep
  • 00:13:27
    speaking to people I keep doing what I
  • 00:13:30
    should do I keep wasting the awareness
  • 00:13:32
    level of people because awareness reason
  • 00:13:33
    is key
