Tensions rose when the Majilac 03 trawler destroyed a local fisherman’s net, leading to a confrontation with small-scale fishers. Responding to the scene, enforcement agents from The Gambia Navy stationed on board the Age of Union apprehended the trawler. Further investigations revealed mismatched registrations and illicit fishing practices, marking the 4th arrest in a single week and underscoring the urgency of Operation Gambian Coastal Defense.

You want the UK to be a world leader in ocean protection, @BorisJohnson @pow_rebecca. Letting bottom trawlers & supertrawlers ravage Marine Protected Areas doesn’t sound world-leading to me. #DestructiveFishing
