Txori Argi Fishing Vessel
The Txori Argi fishing trawler in port. The Spanish flagged Txori Argi is the fifth largest tuna purse seiner in the world, contributing to the depletion of yellowfin tuna stocks across the Indian Ocean. The vessel operates with purse seines and takes advantage of Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs) to attract tuna. Unfortunately, FADs attract other marine species as well, and therefore create bycatch of Pacific silky and Oceanic whitetip sharks, vulnerable whale sharks, threatened sea
turtles and seabirds.

Greenpeace releases a list of 20 ‘monster boats’, examples of the most destructive and oversized fishing vessels operating under European flags, ownership or management. The list features some of the most significant culprits of global overfishing and the destruction of marine life in all five oceans. Overfishing is a global problem with alarming and indisputable consequences: 90 percent of fish stocks are either fully or overexploited. Greenpeace calls on governments to urgently start removing monster boats like those named on the list from oversized industrial fishing fleets around the world.
