Barbless hooks allow the fishermen to unhook the fish instantly once it landed on the ship and put the line back on the water to catch the next one.Catching tunas one by one is the best way to avoid bycatch of other species which makes it a very sustainable fishing technique. Greenpeace is sailing with the crew of a Maldivian Pole & Line fishing ship to document one of the best practices used in the tuna fishing industry.Locations:Asia-MaldivesDate:16 Apr, 2018Credit:© Arnaud Vittet / GreenpeaceLatitude:0°33'22.91"NMaximum size:5472px X 3648pxLongitude73°54'16.91"EKeywords:Fisheries-Fishers-Fishing (activity)-Fishing ships-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Pole and line fishing-Small group of people-Sustainable fishing-TunasShoot:Pole and Line Fishing in the Maldives (Photos & Video)Greenpeace goes to the Maldives to observe one of the best practices used in the tuna fishing industry: Pole and Line fishing.
