Investigation: Systemic illegal driftnet fishing occurring in Moroccan waters
Moroccan fishing vessels are persistently using illegal driftnets in the Alboran Sea, a critical Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot home to some of the world’s most vulnerable marine species, according to a new Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) investigation. The NGO said this indiscriminate and destructive fishing is a serious threat to vulnerable wildlife and violates numerous fisheries laws.
