East Asian Ocean Defender's Tour

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza starts her tour in South Korea to highlight the problems of overfishing and raise awareness of the South Korean government's plans to resume whaling for what it calls 'scientific research.'
After the 2-months East Asia tour including stops in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the Esperanza carries on in the Pacific Ocean and reaches Palau. The Pacific tour covers Palau's waters as well as the Pacific commons, where Greenpeace is calling for a marine reserve.
