The crew of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza is reporting that rampant illegal fishing is taking place in the four international fishing pockets in the Pacific Ocean. The Greenpeace crew have reported violations that range from Taiwanese longliners caught illegally transshipping fish at sea, illegal fishing by a Japanese vessel in Cook Islands waters, and the illegal use of fish aggregating devices. The Esperanza is currently docked in Raratonga, Cook Islands, after months at sea monitoring the extent of illegal fishing in the region.
