Greenpeace activists confronted the Italian fishing vessel and confiscated almost two kilometres of illegal driftnet containing dead undersized blue fin tuna and a small sea turtle that was later released alive. Afterwards Greenpeace followed the vessel towards its home harbour and requested that the coastguard confiscate the illegal driftnet and catch.
