Fishing Documentation - Defending Our Oceans (Pacific: 2006)
Three crew members of the docked Chinese longliner Fu Yuan Yu 052 smoke on their vessel. Greenpeace are on the Pacific Leg of the 'Defending Our Oceans' global expedition to research and document fishing industries in the Pacific. Yellow Fin and Big Eye tuna stocks in the Central and Western Pacific are now drastically low due to pirate fishing and the over fishing of stocks by foreign, industrial nations. Local fishermen struggle to compete in these waters as sophisticated fishing equipment puts them out of business. Greenpeace 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 to tackle the problem of over fishing.
