The exhaustion of West Africa's fisheries is shown to have economic consequences a hemisphere away—specifically in Japan, which depends on Moroccan production for much of its octopus imports. Heavy fishing by European fleets in Senegalese waters—and the 1995 "Turbot War" between Spain and Canada—provide concrete evidence that competition for the ocean's riches is hardly a local problem. This is an effective study of the industrialized world's consumption trends and their political and environmental fallout. |
