Fishing Documentation - Defending Our Oceans (Pacific: 2006)
End of longline tracker buoys set by the legal Japanese longliner 'Keisei Maru No53' appear in front of the Greenpeace vessel 'MY Esperanza' at sea in Micronesian waters. The vessel set sail from the port of Cebu, Republic of the Philippines for the Pacific Leg of the Greenpeace 'Defending Our Oceans' global expedition. 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. 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.
