The Explorer II is owned by Albacora Group, a Spanish company which supplies tuna to Thai Union using harmful fishing gear. Greenpeace is calling on Thai Union to implement sustainable fishing practices and worker-protection, following revelations that Thai Union has been linked to human rights abuses in its supply chain.Locations:Indian OceanDate:26 May, 2016Credit:© Will Rose / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5299px X 3533pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Aerial view-Banners-Commercial fishing-Day-Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs)-Fishers-Fishing (activity)-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing vessels-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace inflatables-Illegal-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Overfishing-Painting actions-Small group of people-Thai Union GroupShoot:Esperanza Targets Destructive Fishing in Indian OceanGreenpeace is in the Indian Ocean to peacefully tackle unsustainable fishing by the world’s largest tuna company, Thai Union.
