Greenpeace activists with fishermen on board the Russian trawler Patrakeevka, Barents Sea. The cod stocks in the Barents sea are disappearing. In spring 2003 the Esperanza is patrolling in the Barents Sea north of Norway to investigate and confront large fishing trawlers in this rich but sensitive ocean. The captain of the Russian trawler invites Greenpeace campaigner Frode Pleym on board and accepts a Greenpeace letter concerning trawler free zones in the Barents Sea.
