Can illegal fishing be stopped?

West Africa’s seas are under threat.

Illegal fishing is destroying marine life and crushing people’s livelihoods.

Local fishermen point their fingers at foreign vessels – mainly Chinese, but also European.

By some estimates, illegal fishing is costing the region at least two billion dollars a year.

But a new surveillance centre in the Gulf of Guinea is trying to stop this from happening.

Will it make a difference?
