Greenpeace is calling on the Korean Olympus purse seiner, operated by Oyang Corporation, DongWon industries Co. Ltd, to leave the area that Greenpeace is defending as a no-take marine reserve. Greenpeace is in the Pacific Ocean to defend the pockets of international waters between Pacific Island countries ? the Pacific Commons - as marine reserves from greedy fishing fleets intent on fishing out the world's last tuna stocks - the world's favorite fish. These mother ships, known as 'reefers', are a gateway for laundering tuna out of the region. Greenpeace advocates the creation of a network of marine reserves, protecting 40 per cent of the world's oceans, as the long term solution to overfishing and the recovery of our overexploited oceans.A report was released that estimates that on top of the known fish catch, at least another 34% is stolen by pirates in the Western and Central Pacific.Locations:International Waters-Kiribati-Nauru-Pacific OceanDate:16 Apr, 2008Credit:© GreenpeaceDuration:1m17sAudio format:NaturalProduction Type :B-ROLLKeywords:Actions and protests-Aerial view-Banners-Dongwon Industries-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing nets-Fishing ships-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace inflatables-KWCI (GPI)-Marine Reserves (campaign title)-Oceans (campaign title)-Overfishing-Seine fishing-TunasShoot:Defending Our Pacific MV Esperanza TourThe Greenpeace ship MV Esperanza toured in the Pacific Ocean to defend the pockets of international waters between Pacific Island countries – the Pacific Commons - as marine reserves from greedy fishing fleets intent on fishing out the world's last tuna stocks - the world's favorite fish.
