Since piracy has scared away the international trawlers who were ravaging Kenyas fish stocks, the local fishing scene in Somalia is thriving again.
These fishermen are used to earning less than £5 a day but over the last few months they've been netting huge catches, increasing their wages fifty-fold. "Yesterday I made 20,000, I got a big shark" boasts one fisherman. With only one patrol boat and thousands of miles of ocean, preventing illegal fisheries has been an impossible task for the Kenyan fishery department. The pirates, it would seem, are doing their job for them. But its not only the fisherman who are benefiting from revived fish stocks: sports fishermen are having their best season in 40 years. "I have never seen a season like it beams Captain Massood, who takes tourists on deep-sea fishing trips." Marine biologist Steve Trott believes this is the strongest indicator yet that these commercial scale fleets have had a destructive impact on Kenyan fisheries.
