The Albacora Uno is a Spanish flagged massive tuna purse seiner. It can hold 2,000 tonnes of fish and is involved in overfishing on a global scale (i.e., beyond European waters) by contributing to the depletion of stocks of bigeye tuna and Eastern stock of yellowfin tuna. The Albacora Uno makes use of Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs), 5 aimed at attracting tuna species, but in reality also attracting many other marine species as well. This method of fishing results in significant levels of bycatch.Locations:Europe-Spain-VigoDate:4 Aug, 2014Credit:© GreenpeaceMaximum size:3872px X 2592pxKeywords:Day-Fisheries-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing ships-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Overfishing-Ports-Seine fishing-Wharfs (Docks)Shoot:Images of Fishing VesselsGreenpeace releases a list of 20 ‘monster boats’, examples of the most destructive and oversized fishing vessels operating under European flags, ownership or management. The list features some of the most significant culprits of global overfishing and the destruction of marine life in all five oceans. Overfishing is a global problem with alarming and indisputable consequences: 90 percent of fish stocks are either fully or overexploited. Greenpeace calls on governments to urgently start removing monster boats like those named on the list from oversized industrial fishing fleets around the world.Related Collections:Monster Boats: The Scourge of the Oceans (Photos & Videos)
