Fisheries on the brink: subsidised industrial fishing is threatening small-scale fishing communities

Small-scale fishers in Ghana are being squeezed out by heavily subsidised industrial trawlers. Livelihoods and food security are at risk. On Monday 19th October EJF screened ‘fisheries on the brink’ at a webinar hosted by Friends of Ocean Action. Our film highlighted the negative impact of fisheries subsidies on small-scale fishing communities in West Africa and beyond.
