The pirate fishing vessel,which had no discernible markings or name visible on the hull, was painted with word 'pirate' by the activists. Greenpeace earlier caught the vesselbreaching international law by trans-shipping large quantities of tuna onto a reefer, or cold-storage ship, in international waters. Purse seining on the high seas is illegal since an agreement was signed last year. Inaddition to breaking international law, the fishing of juvenile yellowfin tuna is unsustainable. Banner reads "Pirate of the Pacific".Locations:International WatersDate:24 Nov, 2011Credit:© Alex Hofford / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5490px X 3516pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Banners-Day-Fisheries-Fishing (Industry)-Fishing nets-Fishing ships-Greenpeace activists-Greenpeace inflatables-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Painting actions-Pirate fishing-Reefer ships-Seine fishing-Small group of peopleShoot:Defending Our Pacific ExpeditionGreenpeace tours in the Western and Central Pacific ocean on the 'Defending Our Pacific' expedition to campaign for the establishment of a network of marine reserves and an end to overfishing.Related Collections:Defending Our Pacific Expedition 2011 (All Photographers & Videos)Month in Pictures: November 2011Defending Our Pacific Expedition Report 2011
