We wanted to see justice being done, to witness and film an illegally operating trawler being apprehended by the authorities at sea. But as a quick glance at a map will show, that was going to be easier to wish for than to achieve.

Orlando Von Einsiedel, Producer/Director to Aljazeera.com

This interactive online game from Al Jazeera places users in the role of an investigative journalist uncovering the story of illegal fishing operations off the coast of Sierra Leone. Users learn about the multi-million dollar illegal fishing trade’s negative consequences for West Africans and gain insight into the process of investigative journalism.
