Tuna giant Bolton says it will be '100% sustainable' by 2017, but how?
After the huge success of our UK tinned
tuna campaign, described by the Independent
as "one of the most successful environmental campaigns in years", it was great
to hear a big European tuna brand - Bolton commit to completely clean up its act.
Senegalese fisherman join Greenpeace campaigners in defending fish stocks from industrial trawlers
In the run up to the Senegalese presidential elections, Youssou N’dour isn’t the only controversial show on the road. Last week, a caravan tour organised by the small-scale fishing sector and our colleagues in Greenpeace Africa, called on presidential candidates to take urgent action against foreign super trawlers.
Floating fish factories are plundering fish stocks off West Africa
Our friends in Greenpeace Holland
have today painted the sides of three of Europe’s largest factory fishing
vessels in the port of IJmuiden, identifying the amount of EU subsidies these
ships have received - subsidies which enable them to plunder the waters of West
Africa.

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.

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.

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.
Our new report shows how overfishing and climate change are taking their toll on West African seas.
We've been investigating
overfishing in West African waters for a long time and our new report, ‘Empty Nets, Empty
Future’ shows, in a stark light, how the local fishing industry in West Africa is under threat.
Antonio Vidal Pego is the boss of the Spanish family operation
You might not think that the criminal underworld smells of sea salt and fish guts, but when there are millions of euros up for grabs for Europe's fishing fleet the crooks with hooks surface.
