Cold Winds Greet Greenpeace

On the eve of being decommissioned, and in the hundredth year of the Republic of China, the ‘Rainbow Warrior’, one of Greenpeace’s three vessels, has begun making one last tour of the world to spread the Greenpeace message, and in January they arrived in Taiwan to spread the word to protect our oceans.

Although Taiwan is a relatively small island, after the development of fishing vessels and the incredible breakthroughs in fishing technology, catches of Bluefin Tuna are bigger than anywhere else in the world. Has anyone thought, apart from the obvious effects on the livelihood of those who are involved in the fishing industry, once all the fish have been caught, what are Taiwanese people going to eat? This report asks the people of Taiwan to face up to the problems of our oceans. We also interviewed an open sea fisherman who urged people to stop this large scale net fishing at once.

寒風中的綠色和平彩虹勇士號(公民記者 伊蓮 報導)

民國100年，綠色和平組織旗下所擁有的三艘船隻之一的『彩虹勇士號』即將除役，決定環繞世界一周，進行最後的行動宣導工作。1月份他們來到台灣，宣導海 洋保育工作。台灣雖然僅僅是一個小島，但船運發達，黑鮪魚的捕獲量全球第一，漁業技術驚人。台灣漁民除了生計之外，是否考慮過：海洋生物越來越少了！當海 裡的魚都被我們捕光的時候，人類要吃什麼？本報導呼籲大家正視海洋濫捕的問題，也訪問到一位遠洋漁夫，苦口婆心勸導大家不要濫捕，他的行動發人深省。

為擴大服務範圍，自2010年4月起，PeoPo每周精選三則公民報導及相關活動與發展，翻譯成英文摘要，讓更多關心台灣公民新聞的朋友，瞭解台灣在地大小事。
