Galileo giornale di scienza
L'appello di Greenpeace
Greenpeace divers hold up a banner that reads "No fish No future" next to a fish aggregation device (FAD). Around 10% of the catch generated by purse seine FAD fisheries is unwanted bycatch and includes endangered species of sharks and turtles. The catch of large amounts of juvenile bigeye and yellowfin tunas in these fisheries is now threatening the survival of these commercially valuable species. 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.
