Fishing Vessels Off the Coast of Africa
Greenpeace 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.
