Real Time Update:
Environmental activists sailing to Libyan waters
By DON MELVIN, Associated Press – 12 hours ago
ABOARD THE STEVE IRWIN (AP) — A boat operated by environmental activists was steaming toward Libyan waters Friday, hoping to stop illegal fishing for bluefin tuna — through confrontation if necessary.
The Steve Irwin, which is owned by the U.S.-based Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, could enter Libyan waters as early as Friday night, said Locky MacLean, the first mate. There, it will rendezvous with the Brigitte Bardot, a faster, smaller Sea Shepherd boat that is currently tailing two unidentified purse seiners — boats that catch tuna with large nets that they draw closed like purses.
The Brigitte Bardot has searched the region and has reported that 23 purse seiners are now working in the area. Not all, presumably are fishing illegally, however.
The activists will match the names of the vessels against a list of authorized ships prepared by ICCAT — the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas — and direct action will be taken only if Sea Shepherd is certain the boats are fishing without licenses or exceeding their quotas.
Be honest Sea Shepard is piece of s***
