Banner on Philippine Purse Seine Vessel
Greenpeace activists holding up a banner reading 'No Fish No Future' as a skipjack purse seine fishery operation is underway between the Philippine purse seiner 'Vergene' and the Philippine fish carrier/supply boat 'Gene-2' in the international waters of high seas pocket No1. Purse seiners use fish aggregation devices, or FADs, to set net around, which are a highly destructive method of fishing that Greenpeace are seeking to be banned at the forthcoming Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) meeting due to be held in Manila, Philippines from 02-06 December 2012.

East Asian Ocean Defender's Tour
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza starts her tour in South Korea to highlight the problems of overfishing and raise awareness of the South Korean government's plans to resume whaling for what it calls 'scientific research.'
After the 2-months East Asia tour including stops in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the Esperanza carries on in the Pacific Ocean and reaches Palau. The Pacific tour covers Palau's waters as well as the Pacific commons, where Greenpeace is calling for a marine reserve.
