They are Ruining the Oceans
and Stealing Our Fish
They
move from fishery to fishery taking as much fish as they can pull out of
the sea. They don't care about what impacts they have on fish populations,
other marine species or on legal fishermen trying to survive on rapidly
declining fish stocks.
Sometimes they stay out for years, changing crews, refuelling,
resupplying and offloading their catches at sea, just to escape any control.
They hide their identities and use flags of convenience, or simply no flag
at all, as they plunder the oceans.
Greenpeace
is calling on all nations to:
-
Close ports to Flag of Convenience (FOC) fishing vessels and FOC fisheries-related
support and transport vessels.
-
Close market to FOC-caught fish and fish products.
-
Prevent companies registered under their jurisdiction from owning or
operating FOC fishing vessels and fisheries-related support and transport
vessels.
