For millions of people around the world, a degraded natural environment means hunger and brutal poverty that costs lives.
By providing film and advocacy training to partners in the global south EJF protects the natural environment and the people and wildlife that depend upon it by empowering local communities to investigate, expose and peacefully resolve abuses.
Through the Net charts EJF’s investigations into
pirate’ fishing in West Africa and tracks the journey of
fish caught illegally in Sierra Leone to the European
seafood market through the Spanish port of Las Palmas.
The film reveals gaps in the EU regulation to prevent,
deter and eliminate IUU fish and highlights steps that
need to be taken to ensure that the regulation works
effectively. The film features interviews with the
EU Fisheries Commissioner, Members of the European
Parliament and fishing communities that suffer the
impacts of ‘pirate’ fishing in West Africa.
The voiceover is provided by award-winning journalist
and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby.
