Greenpeace chasing tuna trawlers
Updated
Another battle has broken out on the high seas with the Greenpeace ship the Esperenza chasing tuna fishing trawlers in the Pacific. The environment group says overfishing in the region is rapidly depleting stocks of big eye and yellow fin Tuna. Australia's tuna industry says it too is worried about stocks, particularly the affects posed by illegal fishing. Greenpeace wants the international waters in the Pacific declared marine reserves but the Australian industry doesn't want international waters shut off to commercial fisheries.
