Greenpeace database blacklists pirate fishers
Updated
The international environmental organisation, Greenpeace wants Pacific Governments to use a new website it has set up that blacklists companies involved in illegal fishing. The Pacific loses up to four hundred million US dollars each year to pirate fishing vessels. Greenpeace identifies Taiwan, Japan and China as the region's biggest perpetrators but it's concerned vessels are rarely 'dobbed' in by government fishing bodies.
