Franziska is a 119 metre long super trawler. It changes flag in and out of Europe regularly: from Dutch to Belizean flag between 2005 and 2006, then back to the Netherlands between 2007 and 2009. Thereafter it was flagged to Peru for three years, and since 2013, it has again been fishing under the Dutch flag. With its huge fishing capacity, the vessel has taken part in overfishing on a global scale.Locations:Africa-Atlantic Ocean-MauritaniaDate:13 Mar, 2012Credit:© Pierre Gleizes / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3786px X 2519pxKeywords:Day-Fisheries-Fishing (activity)-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing vessels-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Oceans (topography)-Outdoors-Overfishing-TrawlersShoot:Fishing Vessels Off the Coast of AfricaGreenpeace releases a list of 20 ‘monster boats’, examples of the most destructive and oversized fishing vessels operating under European flags, ownership or management. The list features some of the most significant culprits of global overfishing and the destruction of marine life in all five oceans. Overfishing is a global problem with alarming and indisputable consequences: 90 percent of fish stocks are either fully or overexploited. Greenpeace calls on governments to urgently start removing monster boats like those named on the list from oversized industrial fishing fleets around the world.Related Collections:Monster Boats: The Scourge of the Oceans (Photos & Videos)
