This method of fishing in Green Island was at its height during the 60s, with more than 20 fishing boats, and hundreds of fishermen. However, numbers have since plummeted to 3 boats and less than 10 fishermen. The Greenpeace ship is in Taiwan for the "A Better Future, Together" tour. During her first time in Taiwan, the tour aims to invite the Taiwanese public to explore a better future, together with Greenpeace.Locations:Asia-TaiwanDate:7 Aug, 2013Credit:© Steven Vigar / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2539px X 1690pxKeywords:Boats-Day-Fish-Fisheries-Fishers-Fishing (activity)-Fishing ships-KWCI (GPI)-Oceans (campaign title)-Outdoors-Pole and line fishing-Small-scale fishing-Sustainable fishingShoot:The Rainbow Warrior in TaiwanThe Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior, for the first time in Taiwan, is on a two weeks tour in the country.
