麻豆约拍

Gambia, which cannot afford naval patrol ships, is considering enlisting the help of private companies to prevent large foreign vessels fishing in its waters without permission.

Beth Lowell, a senior director at marine conservation campaign group Oceana, tells the 麻豆约拍's Russell Padmore that unlicensed fishing damages the economies of poorer countries.
