The Cornelis Vrolijk fishing trawler, 30 miles off the coast of Mauritania. The Cornelis Vrolijk holds 23% of the English fish quota. In comparison, small-scale fishermen represent three-quarters of the entire UK fleet, yet they are allowed to catch just 4% of the UK quota. Regardless of the Cornelis Vrolijk flying a British flag and having some UK management, its beneficial owners are Dutch and its catch is landed in the Netherlands. The vessel has historically participated in overfishing on a global scale by contributing to the depletion of fish stocks in West Africa.
