Bluefin Tuna Action in the Mediterranean
Greenpeace activists on an inflatable boat try to cut the securing lines holding a tuna cage to the floating boom as a Maltese Navy boat arrives.
The activists are taking non-violent direct action in an attempt to free highly endangered bluefin tuna from a large cage being towed to a fattening farm. They were met with a great deal of resistance, including the firing of flares from the fishing vessel and use of water cannons by the Maltese Navy.
