Kenyan fishermen under pressure as foreign trawlers threaten waters

While the French coastal city of Nice hosts the United Nations Ocean Conference, we take you to Kenya, where small fishermen are struggling. Fish stocks decrease and their nets are often empty. The reason: some foreign industrial trawlers – mainly Chinese, Tanzanian and Italian – are marine ecosystems and damage marine ecosystems, often with little surveillance. But a popular response takes shape. With protected areas, stricter fishing rules and restoration of coral reefs, coastal communities work to recover and protect their waters. France 24 reports from France 24, with Olivia Bizot.
