Philippine Purse Seine Fishing Operation

Skipjack tuna during a purse seine fishing operation underway between the Philippine purse seiner 'Vergene' and the Philippine fish carrier/supply boat 'Gene-2' in the international waters of high seas pocket No1. Purse seiners use fish aggregation devices, or FADs, to set net around, which are a highly destructive method of fishing that Greenpeace are seeking to be banned at the forthcoming Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) meeting due to be held in Manila, Philippines from 2 to 6 December 2012.

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.
