Environmental concerns over fish export in West Africa

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Environmental campaigners warn that exports of fish products from West Africa are depriving millions of people of food and work. We'll look at why the industry is so controversial with Dr Ibrahimé Cissé, Senior Campaigner at Greenpeace Africa. Mountain rescuers have questioned the accuracy of using a location app called What 3 Words, which assigns words to unmappable areas. Emergency services are citing dozens of examples where the wrong address was given to their teams. William Gold is a volunteer for the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team in Wales and tells us of his experiences. (Image: West African fish exporters. Credit: Henri BaFoulage/ Getty Images)
