The action aims to highlight the unsustainable fishing activities of such vessels, part of the industrial fleets that threaten the entire bluefin tuna industry. The Rainbow Warrior is in the central Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishing grounds to monitor the end of the purse seine fishing season and ensure the closure of the fishery will be properly enforced.Locations:Europe-Malta-Mediterranean Sea-VallettaDate:22 Jun, 2009Credit:© Greenpeace / Giulio Di SturcoMaximum size:5616px X 3744pxKeywords:Action preparations-Actions and protests-Bluefin tunas-Day-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace crew-KWCI (GPI)-Low angle view-MY Rainbow Warrior II-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-WomenShoot:Rainbow Warrior Bluefin Tuna Tour in the Mediterranean SeaThe Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior tours in the central Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishing grounds to monitor the end of the purse seine fishing season and ensure the closure of the fishery will be properly enforced. The Mediterranean Sea is key to the survival of the Atlantic northern bluefin tuna. It is the most healthy of only two breeding areas, and the waters surrounding the Balearic Islands are a vital spawning ground. Every year the fish come to reproduce in the warm Mediterranean waters. And every year, an uncontrolled fleet of fishing vessels races to catch the tuna at this important and vulnerable stage in their life cycle, encircling whole schools with nets known as “purse-seines”.
