Yahoo! News - Finding No Fish, Ghanaians Turn to Bushmeat, Report Says

Yahoo! News - Finding No Fish, Ghanaians Turn to Bushmeat, Report Says:

"Overfishing by subsidized European fleets off the coast of West Africa is hurting local fisheries and forcing people to slaughter wildlife to get enough to eat, researchers said on Thursday.

"They said the so-called bushmeat trade in Ghana is strongly driven by a lack of fish, and added the country risked even worse poverty and social unrest -- as well as the loss of an irreplaceable natural resource -- unless something changes. "
