Kiribati — We chased it for 5 days, but as dawn broke over the Pacific this morning we finally confronted the biggest tuna fishing vessel in the world. The Spanish-owned and flagged tuna purse seiner "Albatun Tres" is known as a 'super, super seiner' and can net 3,000 tonnes of tuna in a single fishing trip. This is almost double the entire annual catch of some Pacific island countries.

If they build some more ships like that one they can kill all Tuna´s. They use satellites to find the tuna swarms.

@netxposeidon Hi! I agree with you but if you recall, in 1992, the cod fishery in Newfoundland collapsed, and over 40 000 people lost their jobs. As a result, 12% of the population emigrated to other parts of Canada. If conservation action had been taken, then the population wouldn't have depleted to such low levels. Please have respect for nature, she gives us everything that we have.

As a species we need to control how we plunder our planet. We all need to grow up and smell the coffee.
