Protect the Oceans Expedition - MY Esperanza in the North Atlantic (Pix by K. Sjölander)

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza is in the North Atlantic documenting fishing vessels which, while known to be primarily catching swordfish, in fact collectively catch four times more sharks than swordfish. The Esperanza sails from the Arctic to the Antarctic during the "Protect the Oceans" tour, a year long expedition, undertaking ground-breaking research and investigations to campaign for a strong Global Ocean Treaty at the United Nations.
