Fishing Enforcement Agreement in Palau
Seni Nabou (L), Pacific Political Advisor, Greenpeace Australia Pacific; Frode Pleym (M), Expedition Leader, Greenpeace and Johnson Toribiong (R), President of the Republic of Palau; seen at the Palau National Congress for the signing of an agreement between Greenpeace and the Republic of Palau to conduct joint fishing enforcement in search of illegal fishing in Palau waters. This second such agreement comes less than a year after Palau and Greenpeace conducted a successful joint surveillance exercise, netting an illegal shark fishing and finning operation in December 2011. The patrol will be the final part of Greenpeace's Defending Our Pacific Tour in which the Greenpeace ship Esperanza has visited South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong and will now search for pirate fishing in international waters near Palau.

East Asian Ocean Defender's Tour
The Greenpeace ship Esperanza starts her tour in South Korea to highlight the problems of overfishing and raise awareness of the South Korean government's plans to resume whaling for what it calls 'scientific research.'
After the 2-months East Asia tour including stops in Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the Esperanza carries on in the Pacific Ocean and reaches Palau. The Pacific tour covers Palau's waters as well as the Pacific commons, where Greenpeace is calling for a marine reserve.
