Fishing Documentation - Defending Our Oceans (Pacific: 2006)

A local woman from Pohnpei catches coral reef fish in a net at low tide, the nets are set the night before at high tide. Greenpeace is in the area for the Pacific Leg of the 'Defending Our Oceans' global expedition. They are calling for an immediate end to pirate fishing, a 50% reduction in the amount of Pacific tuna caught, and a global network of Marine Reserves. Yellow Fin and Big Eye tuna stocks in the Central and Western Pacific are destined to be critically over-fished within three years if the relentless fishing of the two Tuna species continues at current rates.
