Loggerhead turtle caught in the net of the Ecuadorean purse seiner 'Ingalapagos', which was documented fishing on a fish aggregation device (FAD) by Greenpeace in the vicinity of the northern Galapagos Islands. Unknown number of endangered marine turtles die in purse seine FAD fisheries each year. Greenpeace is calling for a total ban on the use of fish aggregation devices in purse seining, and the establishment of a global network of marine reserves.
