Pole & Line Fishing in the Maldives
Attracted by the shiny barbless hook and lure, skipjack tunas are hooked and pulled onto the vessel by the fishermen. 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.

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. Using this fishing method to catch tunas one by one reduces considerably the risk of bycatch (other marine species caught unintentionally) making it the best sustainable solution for healthier oceans.
