Sea Shepherd Crew Attacked by Sealers – 2005 Seal Defense

Sea Shepherd – Seal Defense Campaign – 2005
Farley Mowat Footage during our 2005 Seal Defense Campaign.
In 2005 eleven Sea Shepherd crew were arrested after being attacked and assaulted by sealers on the ice. Despite being struck by sealing clubs, punched and kicked, not one sealer was arrested for assault. The attack was video-taped and the sealers identified yet the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stated there was insufficient evidence to charge the sealers. The Sea Shepherd crew were jailed and fined for approaching within a half a nautical mile of a seal being killed.
In addition to the hazards of thick ice and nasty weather, the Sea Shepherd crew face the threat of violence from the sealers and the threat of arrest under the Canadian Seal Protection regulations that make it a criminal offense to witness or document the killing of a seal without the permission of the government of Canada.
Canada’s commercial seal “hunt” is the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world. This year, Canada will allow 270,000 harp seals to be killed.
Canada’s 2006 quota for killing seals: 325,000 for the regular commercial “hunt” and an additional 10,000 harp seal allowance for new aboriginal initiatives, personal use, and Arctic hunts. As usual, the commercial quota was exceeded, resulting in over 330,000 seals being kiilled.
During the previous three years, the government of Canada delivered the death sentence to over one million baby harp seals.
Sea Shepherd continues to oppose this annual obscenity called a “hunt.” It is not a hunt because the sealers simply walk up to the seals (who have no means of escaping or hiding) and bash the seals on the head or shoot them.
Sea Shepherd, known for direct action, has and continues to use other methods to fight to bring the “hunt” to a permanent end. In 2005, Sea Shepherd joined many other organizations in promoting the international boycott of Canadian Seafood Products as a means to strip the commercial seal “hunt” of all economic value and force it, by financial means, to end. The Boycott of Canadian Seafood targets the very people who slaughter the seals: It is the fishing industry that runs the seal “hunt” which is a make-work project for off-season fisherman.

Tuna Fisheries in Indonesia Go Eco-Friendly
Tuna industries in Indonesia are turning to friendly fishing. The world tuna industry has been widely blamed for killing endangered sea life, such as turtles, sharks and sea birds.
The sea-life killing culprits are the longline and purse seine nets they use. The nets drag and dredge the sea bed, taking everything along with the prized tuna, a staple in most menus. However, the Nutrindo fishery in Bitung, North Sulawesi in Indonesia is using the hand line rather than longline in their 25 boats for two weeks to one month. Fishery owner Hartono Tjandrason says the reason he chose the handline was to avoid catching in sealife except for tuna. [Hartono Tjandrason, Fishery Owner]: “In this fishing industry, we need development sustainability, resources sustainability. So, without resources we would not have development. We have to maintain this circle.” His fishery exports a ton of yellow fin tuna to Japan daily and some 100 tons to United States a month. Bas Zaunbrecher, of ANOVA, a Netherlands-based tuna fishery that operates in Bali’s waters says most of his customers in Japan and the U.S. demand environmentally friendly Seafood products. [Bas Zaunbrecher, ANOVA]: “More and more of our customers they require fish from sustainable sources. So it is actually a must for the future and also if things are not being controlled properly in the future, we will not have any resources anymore to buy our product from.” His company’s long line of fleets have replaced traditional J-shaped hooks, which fish and turtles tend to swallow, with various sizes of circular hooks. Endangered sea turtles accidentally caught by fishermen off Indonesia’s sea coasts usually die, but innovative hooks that are too big to swallow are increasingly saving the reptiles’ lives.

Is Gulf seafood safe to eat?
Let me be clear. Seafood from the Gulf today is safe to eat,” declared President Obama last week during a visit to Mississippi. Yet, a week later, fear over the Gulf seafood supply has not died down.
“I’m staying away from seafood,” said Columbus resident Greg Wilder. “I don’t want to trust no seafood – not right now. We’re eating less and less seafood because of the oil spill.”
“I’m not going to any type of restaurants that involve seafood right now,” said Brooke Olson. “I’m just scared to get a disease or just dying or just being contaminated.”
“Well, I think everyone is a little scared,” explains Jamie Gruber, the lead chef at The Market, a restaurant in downtown Columbus. “And, you have to use your own common sense.”
His business thrives on what is caught in the waters. Gruber understands consumer concerns, but adds seafood is safe to eat.
“The same principles apply,” he explains. “When you’re shopping for it, you want to make sure there is not a smell there. You want to make sure the meat is nice and firm. If you’re dealing with a whole fish, you’re looking for the gills to still have some color. And, of course, the skin to have some color in it. As long as you buy from a good, reputable place, you should be fine.”
Gruber says fortunately the oil spill has not affected business. But, he remains concerned over the spill’s long term effects.
“The one fish that we’re really concerned about is the Gulf Red Snapper because it’s the only one that comes from the Gulf,” Gruber said.

Ann cleaning a fish at her apartment in Kerch Ukraine.
Me and Ann went to the fish market in Kerch Ukraine to buy some fish. This is one of the fish we bought there, it was like 15 UAH (Less than $2, CHEAP!). Ann is pretty much a professional fish murderer/mutilator/fryer. This fish was delicious, for real.

She creates an array of Chinese Seafood dishes Steamed sea bass in hot beer and ginger lime sauce
Ingredients
For the sea bass
2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, peeled and cut into long thin strips (juilienne)
1 spring onion, sliced into long strips
1 whole wild sea bass (about 550g/1¼lb), de-scaled, gutted, cleaned and skin scored several times with a sharp knife
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
For the hot ginger lime and beer sauce
2 tbsp groundnut oil
1 tbsp freshly grated root ginger
1 lime, zest only
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
330ml/11½fl oz Chinese beer or other light beer
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 spring onion, sliced into long strips (juilienne)
1 large handful fresh coriander, roughly chopped
steamed wild basmati rice, to serve
Method
1. For the sea bass, sprinkle half of the ginger and spring onion strips across the fish, or tuck some into the scores made in the skin. Place the remaining ginger and spring onion into the fish cavity.
2. Transfer the fish to a heatproof plate or dish and pour the rice wine over. Place the plate into a large bamboo steamer and cover. Place the bamboo steamer on top of a pan of boiling water (making sure the water does not touch the base of the steamer). Steam the fish for 8-10 minutes (depending on the size of the fish), or until the fish is cooked through (the flesh should flake easily when poked with chopsticks). Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the steamer to rest.
3. For the sauce, heat a wok until smoking and add the oil. Add the grated ginger, stir-frying for a few seconds. Stir in the lime zest, followed by the beer and soy sauce. As soon as the liquid comes to the boil, add the spring onions and coriander, then remove from the heat.
4. To serve, carefully remove the plate of fish from the bamboo steamer, pour the sauce over the fish and serve immediately with steamed wild basmati rice.

Brussels Seafood Expo – Business Closed!
Learn More:
http://www.greenpeace.org/international/news/brussels-Seafood-expo-230408
80 activists from 15 countries covered the stands with fishing nets, chained themselves to the stands and put up banners in 13 languages saying; ‘Time and Tuna are running out’. They also stenciled the very simple “business closed” across many stands.
Not only is there no trading at all going on at the Ricardo Fuentes stand, where 30 people locked on, but trading across the fair was stopped as people flocked to the stand to see what was going on. Outside we relayed the same message to people coming into the conference.

Trident Seafood Plant at Akutan Alaska
Trident Seafoods, the largest processing plant in North America, is located in Akutan on a volcanic Aleutian Island 1,700 miles north of Seattle and 35 miles from Unalaska/Dutch Harbor. The plant processes pollock, crab, halibut, surimi and other species harvested from the Bering Sea. All of these videos and most of the photographs were taken in June 2008.
