Turtle in East Pacific Ocean

Loggerhead turtle caught in a net of Ecuadorean purse seiner ‘Cabo Marzo’ which was documented fishing on a fish aggregation device by Greenpeace in the vicinity of the northern Galapagos Islands. Unknown number of endangered marine turtles die in purse seine FAD fisheries each year. Greenpeace is calling for a total ban on the use of fish aggregation devices in purse seining and the establishment of a global network of marine reserves.
