Oceans Action at European Seafood Exposition in Brussels

The activists also display banners in 13 different languages saying; 'Time and Tuna running out'. Greenpeace is contacting leading retailers and bulk users of seafood, asking them to ensure that what they sell is legal, sustainable and fair.

Action at EU Seafood Exposition in Brussels
Greenpeace closed down the stands of five tuna suppliers, including the world's largest, Mitsibushi, at the European Seafood Exposition. 80 activists from 15 countries covered the stands with fishing nets, chained themselves to the stands and put up banners in 13 languages saying; 'Time and Tuna are running out'. They also stenciled the very simple "business closed" across many stands. Much of the seafood on display at the Expo is either endangered or has been fished using destructive techniques - or both. Ending overfishing and destructive fishing is not only crucial to saving our marine environment, it is vital to the very survival of the fishing industry.
