Silky Shark near a FAD in the Indian Ocean
Silky sharks and other marine life circle a recently placed FAD (fish aggregating device) in international waters in the Indian Ocean. The marine snare was left by a vessel supplying Thai Union. A Greenpeace team recovered the FAD and took it back to the Esperanza for dismantling.

Esperanza Targets Destructive Fishing in Indian Ocean
Greenpeace is in the Indian Ocean to peacefully tackle unsustainable fishing by the world’s largest tuna company, 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).
