That’s what I heard above the chatter as the crew finished the fifth
course – Bream served with red tea, orange and chocolate – prepared by
the creative and expert hands of Diego Guerrero.

Something unprecedented happened yesterday.
Greenpeace campaigners and part of the UK
fishing industry came together to deliver 10,000 messages from Greenpeace
supporters about the need for reform of the Common Fisheries Policy to Number 10.

No, not that. Your fishing fleet… how big is your fishing fleet? No
idea? It seems that European governments don’t know either. That’s quite
a problem when size is at the heart of our overfishing problems.
Antonio "Toño" Vidal Pego was the focus of our recent investigations
Finally some good news for our seas. Toño, the head of the Vidal family network, and focus of our recent
investigation in to illegal fishing and subsides in Spain was found
guilty of fraud and condemned to one year and eight months in prison.

Today we've released shocking footage of ocean
life dying in gruesome ways at the hands of industrial tuna fishers in the
Pacific Ocean. The footage was shot by a New Zealand helicopter pilot turned
whistleblower, who undertook aerial reconnaissance for tuna boats in the
Pacific in 2009.
Without fail, anytime I blog about more sustainable fish there will be at least one comment along the lines of ‘go vegan’ or ‘no one needs to eat fish anyway!’ That is of course fine and a viewpoint I (as a vegetarian of 25 years and counting) can certainly sympathise with.
Bycatch on Spanish bottom-trawler in the North Atlantic
In the deep sea northwest of the UK, bottom
trawlers are destroying ancient and mostly undiscovered ecosystems. They are part of an unsustainable fishing industry kept afloat
by EU taxpayer subsidies.

Usually
our campaign films are taken down from the internet by others. Think Nestle.
Think VW. But the opposite happened on Saturday – we took down our own film.

This animation highlights some very fishy business we exposed in Spain recently. The case we uncovered, followed a nine-month investigation into the fishy dealings of “Toño”, one of Spain’s notorious fishing barons. We exposed how his family network has amassed a list of convictions for illegal fishing and are continuing to operate around the world, putting vital fish stocks in danger.
