Illegal fishing techniques in Senegal threatens reef

Near the coast of Senegal and Mauritania is the world’s largest known cold-water reef. It is also where international companies are drilling for oil and gas. But local fishermen say dolphins and turtles are washing up dead on the shores of Senegal.
Al Jazeera's Nicolas Haque reports from the fishing town of Kayar, Senegal.

Without fish coral reefs are doomed. Without coral reefs we are doomed.

That's great. Let's save the environment by stopping the poor fisherman in fkn Senegal and turn a blind eye on the giant corrupt companies that do an actual significant damage to our environment

The majority of the fishermen use nets and not dynamite. The trawlers and the oil/mineral drilling is what is killing the coast. They are building port south of Dakar to process this and that is going to ruin most of Senegal's coastline.
