Seabed in the Argentine Sea
Image caught with a TOW underwater device to explore the bottom of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
On board the ship MY Esperanza, within the framework of the Campaign for the Protection of the Oceans, Greenpeace together with biologist Martín Brogger arrive at the area known as Blue Hole - at the limit of the exclusive Argentine economic zone - in the South Atlantic and take pictures of the seabed.
It is the first documentation of the devastation of the sea floor in this area, as a result of overfishing and the lack of control and regulation of international waters. Instead of recording a variety of species, sponge fields or coral reefs, the cameras showed desert soils, garbage and dead starfish.

Protect the Oceans Expedition: MY Esperanza in Argentina (Photos by C. Olivares)
The Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza is in Argentina as part of the Protect the Oceans Tour, a pole to pole year long expedition that began in the Arctic and will reach Antarctica, to denounce the fishing industry and seek the UN approval for a global treaty for the protection of the oceans.
With the message “Protect the Argentine Sea,” the MY Esperanza ship starts a campaign in defense of the marine ecosystem and endangered species, such as the southern right whale.
