A bigeye tuna lies on the deck of the legal Japanese longliner 'Keisei Maru No53' at sea in Micronesian waters, Wednesday 13th September 2006. Yellow Fin and Big Eye tuna stocks in the Central and Western Pacific are destined to be critically overfished within three years if the relentless fishing of the two Tuna species continues at current rates. Greenpeace are calling for an immediate end to pirate fishing, a 50% reduction in the amount of Pacific tuna caught, and a global network of Marine Reserves. The Greenpeace vessel 'MY Esperanza' set sail from the port of Cebu, Republic of the Philippines on Sunday 3rd September 2006 for the Pacific Leg of the Greenpeace 'Defending Our Oceans' global expedition.
