Fishing Documentation - Defending Our Oceans (Pacific: 2006)
A pile of dead and finless sharks in a refrigerated warehouse. After severing the lucrative fins from the sharks' bodies, Luen Thai company send the fins to Asia for final consumption as Shark's Fin Soup. The bodies are also sent back to China to be manufactured into catfood and/or cheap fish balls, a common street food in China. In the background can be seen Yellowfin Tuna (top right), Marlin (centre right) and by-catch fish Opah, or Moonfish, (bottom right). Greenpeace document fishing 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 are destined to be critically overfished within three years if the fishing of the two fish species continues unabated.
