China Overfishing
FILE – The Chinese-flagged Lu Rong Yuan Yu 609 prepares to fish for squid on the high seas near the Galapagos Islands on July 19, 2021. Chinese squid vessels were documented using wide nets to illegally catch already overfished tuna as part of a surge in unregulated activity in the Indian Ocean, according to a new report by Norway-based watchdog group that published on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, highlights growing concerns about the lack of international cooperation to protect marine species on the high seas.
