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.
