Poor management has left many stocks over exploited including albacore tuna and many sharks. The Rainbow Warrior is sailing in Mozambican waters with fisheries enforcement officials on board in order to carry out joint surveillance and expose cases of illegal fishing. The shoot includes images of pole and line fishing activities in the Maldives.Related Collections:Rainbow Warrior Indian Ocean Fisheries Tour (Photo & Video)Rainbow Warrior Indian Ocean Expedition 2012 Report (All Photographers)
