NEWSFLASH!!! European Union, China & Russia et al Have Left African Shorelines With VIRTUALLY NO Fish!

This is what I mean by greed and not allowing the earth to replenish herself. These criminals are raping our OCEANS and NO ONE is doing anything about it! No one has claim to these Oceans, the Oceans belongs to ALL of HUMANITY. You can read the entire article titled, "Europe Takes Africa's Fish" written by the New York Times on January 14th.

This is outright disgusting, all for the sake of Capitalism, power and CONTROL. These people are the lowest forms of human existence. They only care about the money they will make today and literally don't give a damn about OUR future. It is this exact greed that is depleting all of our known resources. The following is an excerpt of the above captioned article:

Many scientists agree. A vast flotilla of industrial trawlers from the European Union, China, Russia and elsewhere, together with an abundance of local boats, have so thoroughly scoured northwest Africa’s ocean floor that major fish populations are collapsing.

That has crippled coastal economies and added to the surge of illegal migrants who brave the high seas in wooden pirogues hoping to reach Europe. While reasons for immigration are as varied as fish species, Europe’s lure has clearly intensified as northwest Africa’s fish population has dwindled.

Last year roughly 31,000 Africans tried to reach the Canary Islands, a prime transit point to Europe, in more than 900 boats. About 6,000 died or disappeared, according to one estimate cited by the United Nations.

The region’s governments bear much of the blame for their fisheries’ decline. Many have allowed a desire for money from foreign fleets to override concern about the long-term health of their fisheries. Illegal fishermen are notoriously common; efforts to control fishing, rare.

But in the view of West African fishermen, Europe is having its fish and eating them, too. Their own waters largely fished out, European nations have steered their heavily subsidized fleets to Africa.

Overfishing is hardly limited to African waters. Worldwide, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 75 percent of fish stocks are overfished or fished to their maximum. But in a poor region like northwest Africa, the consequences are particularly stark.

Fish are the main source of protein for much of the region, but some species are now so scarce that the poor can no longer afford them, said Pierre Failler, senior research fellow for the British Center for Economics and Management of Aquatic Resources.
