 Dominique Vandendrisshe  is a young fisherman from Belgium. He fish shrimps by a traditional method to using the horse. Dominique is one of the only fishermen left using the methods because many other youth in his country have opted for other jobs.The traditional  shrimp fishing is facing high competition from the large scale fishing that takes too much fish. Dominique also highlights that the rich farmers who do large fish harvesting do not offer jobs to the youth because the shrimps are taken to north Africa to be worked on by the Labourers in North Africa who are paid less which is he terms as human exploitation, through unsustainable fishing.
