Fishing Documentation - Defending Our Oceans (Pacific: 2006)

A schoolgirl from Pohnpei displays tin's of Skipjack Tuna in front of the 'Commission Headquarters For The Conservation And Management In The Western And Central Pacific Of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks'. Greenpeace are in the area for the Pacific Leg of the Greenpeace 'Defending Our Oceans' global expedition. Yellow Fin and Big Eye tuna stocks in the Central and Western Pacific are destined to be critically over-fished within three years if the relentless fishing of the two Tuna species continues at current rates. Greenpeace are calling for an immediate end to pirate fishing, a 50% reduction in the amount of Pacific tuna caught, and a global network of Marine Reserves.
