The marine snares recovered have all been placed by vessels supplying Thai Union.

With some tuna stocks in the Indian Ocean, such as Yellowfin, on the brink of collapse due to overfishing, the expedition is exposing Thai Union’s destructive fishing methods which contribute to overfishing and harm a range of marine life including sharks and juvenile tuna.Activists aboard the Esperanza document and peacefully oppose the destructive practices of fishing vessels supplying Thai Union, to prevent the indiscriminate harm caused to marine life. Throughout the tour, Greenpeace crew recover FADs (fish aggregation devices) placed by vessels supplying Thai Union. Supplying one-fifth of the world’s tinned tuna, Thai Union owns major brands around the world, including John West (UK and Netherlands), Chicken of the Sea (US), Petit Navire (France), Mareblu (Italy) and Sealect (Thailand).Related Collections:Esperanza Targets Destructive Fishing in Indian Ocean (Photos & Videos)'Protect the Oceans' Expedition Launch Collection (Photos, Video & 30x30 Report)Indian Ocean - Not Just Tuna JOURNALIST selection
