The pirate fishing vessel, which had no discernible markings or name visible on the hull, was paintedwith word 'pirate' by the activists. Greenpeace earlier caught the vessel breaching international law by trans-shipping large quantities of tuna onto a reefer, or cold-storage ship, in international waters. Purse seining onthe high seas is illegal since an agreement was signed last year. In addition to breaking international law, the fishing of juvenile yellowfin tuna is unsustainable.Locations:International WatersDate:24 Nov, 2011Credit:© Alex Hofford / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5496px X 3522pxKeywords:Aerial view-Copy space-Day-Fisheries-Fishing (activity)-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing nets-Fishing vessels-Illegal-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Pirate fishing-Reefer ships-Seine fishingShoot:Defending Our Pacific ExpeditionGreenpeace tours in the Western and Central Pacific ocean on the 'Defending Our Pacific' expedition to campaign for the establishment of a network of marine reserves and an end to overfishing.Related Collections:Defending Our Pacific Expedition 2011 (All Photographers & Videos)Defending Our Pacific Expedition Report 2011
