Dakhla in Western Sahara, is a small city on the Atlantic coast in Morocco. It has everything to be idyllic. Beaches, sun, fine sand, turquoise waters\'85however 10,000 of fishermen, crowded into shantytowns, do nevertheless stain its scenery. The city is one of the most fishy area in the world. Today the sector is agonizing, and Fishermen claim themselves victims of a disloyal competition that robs them of their daily food. Who is to blame?
