Ship Graveyard in West Africa
A Chinese fishing vessel graveyard with wardens onboard about 60 miles off Conakry. The rusting boats appear unusable but are still in use. This is the hidden story behind pirate fishing - the conditions of near slavery imposed by ruthless fishing companies in the rush for quick money. The men on board aren't pirates - they're the victims, left to rot on broken-down trawlers, half a world away from their families. Human life is cheap, and profits take priority as the workers exist in terrible conditions often waiting for crew that never arrives. Some of them at have been at sea for two years. Greenpeace and the Environmental Justice Foundation have undertaken a joint expedition to expose illegal fishing activities in the waters of Guinea Conakry, one of the countries with the highest level of pirate fishing worldwide.
