Communities in the north of KwaZulu-Natal are up in arms about unregulated fishing in marine protected areas off the South African coast.
Residents of Kosi Bay, who live inside and on the fringes of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - claim that law enforcement officials relentlessly target them. However, these officials fail to act against large-scale fishing trawlers and other illegal fishing operations in the area.
This is seemingly due to a lack of resources and institutional will.
