Fish near a FAD in Palau
An illegally deployed fish aggregating device (FAD) in the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Palau. Two FADs were confiscated by Greenpeace in conjunction with law enforcement officers from the Government of Palau. Greenpeace is currently on a joint surveillance operation with the Government of Palau, patrolling the Western and Central Pacific Ocean where 60% of the world's tuna comes from. The use of FADs in destructive purse seine fishing is destroying the health of the oceans and Greenpeace is calling for a full ban on FADs at the forthcoming 'Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission' (WCPFC) which will from 02-06 December 2012 in Manila, Republic of the Philippines.

East Asian Ocean Defender's Tour
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza starts her tour in South Korea to highlight the problems of overfishing and raise awareness of the South Korean government's plans to resume whaling for what it calls 'scientific research.'
After the 2-months East Asia tour including stops in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the Esperanza carries on in the Pacific Ocean and reaches Palau. The Pacific tour covers Palau's waters as well as the Pacific commons, where Greenpeace is calling for a marine reserve.
