Greenpeace activists in an inflatable boat take direct action in an effort to interrupt the destructive fishing activities of the Togo-flagged, factory trawler 'Murtosa' in the international section of the Barents Sea known as the loophole, a pocket of high seas positioned between exclusive economic zones. Campaigners on board the Greenpeace ship, Esperanza, confirmed with the trawler's captain that he was knowingly taking the cod with no legal quota and was conducting so-called IUU (Illegal, Unregistered, Unreported) fishing, also known as Pirate Fishing.
