Tanzania is Home to the Worst Fishermen

In Tanzania, Fishermen use bombs illegally to kill hundreds of fish in a second. They call this Blast Fishing. The purpose to target all of the fish in the area, but, indirectly killing and destroying coral and the wide variety of sea animals that depend on it.
Dynamite is used, as well as kerosene and fertilizer in bottles. Blast Fishing started in the 1960's but was made illegal in the 1970's. But, obviously hasn't stopped a select handful of fishermen to continue this method. Greg Wagner, of the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, wrote “the overall impact of dynamite fishing on coral reefs in Tanzania has been devastating.”
Davenport and other researchers found more than 300 explosions every 30 days. That's 10 a day. More than 60 percent of the blasts occurred within 50 miles of each other. More efforts need to be put in before Sea Life changes drastically and beyond our helping point.
