Korean Longliner Oryong 717
Korean longliner "Oryong 717". Shots include the returning of confiscated longline and confrontation with the captain. Crew from the Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza freed marine life and confiscated fishing gear from the Korean longliner in an area proposed as a future marine reserve. The Esperanza has then escorted the Oryong 717 into the waters of Kirabati, where it has license to fish, and returned its gear after agreeing to stop fishing in international waters. Greenpeace is touring the Pacific Ocean as part of an international campaign for clean and healthy oceans through the creation of a global network of marine reserves and effective enforcement of laws that protect ocean life. Greenpeace is monitoring the pockets of international waters that Pacific Island Countries want closed from all fishing activities in order to protect the declining tuna stocks.

Pacific Ocean MY Esperanza Tour
The Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza’s tour in the Pacific Ocean is part of an international campaign for clean and healthy oceans through the creation of a global network of marine reserves and effective enforcement of laws that protect ocean life. Greenpeace is monitoring the pockets of international waters that Pacific Island Countries want closed from all fishing activities in order to protect the declining tuna stocks. Already during the tour, the Esperanza has exposed illegal transshipment activities by Taiwanese ships, documented the oceans plunder by a Japanese ship and confiscated several fish aggregating devices (FADs) which are currently banned. Purse seine fishing vessels set their huge nets on these FADs taking everything with it, including a large by-catch of unwanted fish. Greenpeace is campaigning for a global network of fully protected marine reserves, covering 40% of our oceans.
