lt's so hard to police these
coastal areas of the Philippines

because it's a very long coastal
area and another thing is

that we jail them we don't
have enough room to in jail

We were taken to a jail on
the island of Koran

these men have been arrested for
illegal fishing and they're waiting trial

They're been locked up for months,

but the trader, the middle
man is still free

l don't think we can lump in all
the blames into the fishermen

because first is that err they
do not know anything better,

they're afraid of being caught

but they say there's no other
method to catch fish

When they've been squirted with
cyanide fish don't die immediately,

but the damage has been done and
their internal organs gradually pack up

The trader has to move them fast as
they will die in just a few weeks

Cruz is sure that the importers know
when cyanide has been used

because the mortality rate is so high,
but they simply choose to ignore it

lmporter would know immediately that
there is something wrong with his fish,

but yet they start and keep on
importing from the same exporter

in the Philippines and
in other countries

The majority of tropical fish
caught in lndonesia

and the Philippines are exported
to America and here in to the UK

Fortunately there are a lot of responsible
importers like the owner of this shop

who refuse to buy fish that
have been caught using cyanide,

but as a customer you can't
tell how fish was caught,

the responsibility lies with us
to check with the shop keeper

And if you don't it may only
take a couple of weeks

before your ornamental fish is
as dead as the reef it came from

This abandoned net is made of tough
nylon which won't easily disintegrate

lf it isn't removed it could
carry on killing

like this for years
and years to come

lf one small net on one reef can
cause this much damage imagine

what fishing nets could do
on a global scale

Our fishing methods today ensure
that we catch more and more,

but a lot of what's caught
is thrown away

simply chucked over board,
usually dead

Modern fisheries are
very destructive

they don't just catch what they're
after they catch everything else

that's out there as well

The United Nations tells us
that up to thirty million

metric tons a year are caught
by fisheries and

Simply thrown over
board dead or dying

That's one quarter to one third
of the annual catch around the world

l'm talking about err not
just non target fish species

but sea turtles, marine mammals,
sea birds such as albatrosses

and so forth err even
whales on occasion

No matter how magnificent no animal
is spared in our hunt for food

But what's even more ridiculous is often
the fish we would eat are thrown away

if the boat is targeting
a different species

And at one particular fishery
where the waste is phenomenal

Prawn or shrimp trawling
is the worst example

of destructive fisheries
in the world

Prawn and shrimp trawling
is ubicuous throughout the tropics

The nets are dragged
along the bottom,

the shrimp live in the habitat
along the bottom,

those nets hoover up everything
in their path,

up to fifteen pounds of other
species are taken aboard
