Activists Confront Supply Vessel Explorer II in the Indian Ocean - News Access # 1
Activists from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza peacefully confront marine operations at the heart of Thai Union’s supply chain, the latest in a series of global protests against the tuna giant’s destructive fishing practices. At 06.00 local time, activists in inflatable boats deliver a cease and desist letter to the deck of the Explorer II, a supply vessel using an underwater seamount to perch on and contribute to massive depletion of ocean life.

Esperanza Targets Destructive Fishing in Indian Ocean (VIDEO)
Greenpeace is in the Indian Ocean to peacefully tackle unsustainable fishing by the world’s largest tuna company, Thai Union. With some tuna stocks in the Indian Ocean, such as Yellowfin, on the brink of collapse due to overfishing, the expedition is exposing Thai Union’s destructive fishing methods which contribute to overfishing and harm a range of marine life including sharks and juvenile tuna.
Activists aboard the Esperanza document and peacefully oppose the destructive practices of fishing vessels supplying Thai Union, to prevent the indiscriminate harm caused to marine life. Throughout the tour, Greenpeace crew recover FADs placed by vessels supplying Thai Union.
Supplying one-fifth of the world’s tinned tuna, Thai Union owns major brands around the world, including John West (UK and Netherlands), Chicken of the Sea (US), Petit Navire (France), Mareblu (Italy) and Sealect (Thailand).
