@ian_urbina @GlobalFishWatch The Chinese fishing fleet is disturbingly active and strip mining many places around the planet. They're very overt about it. Collectively, we are all stripping the oceans of life just as we are on land. Global food security is about to become a big problem. Expect conflict.

@ian_urbina @GlobalFishWatch If they’re illegally fishing and depleting our oceans, then I’m ok with this level of karma.

@ian_urbina @GlobalFishWatch our monitoring of AIS/AIS-2 signals should key off someone going 'dark' ... it can be a signal of a vessel loss ... or illegal activity

China has anywhere from 200,000 to 800,000 fishing boats, accounting for nearly half of the world’s fishing activity. The Chinese government says its distant-water fishing fleet numbers roughly 2,600, but other research by the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), puts this number closer to 20,000 with many of these ships being invisible on vessel tracking systems. Chinese fleet accounts for 50 to 70 percent of the squid caught in international waters, effectively controlling the global supply. To catch squid, the Chinese typically use trawling nets stretched between two vessels, a practice widely criticized by conservationists because it results in a lot of fish inadvertently and wastefully killed. Nowhere at sea is China more dominant than in squid fishing, as the country’s fleet accounts for 50 to 70 percent of the squid caught in international waters, effectively controlling the global supply of the popular seafood.TonySanghoLee Charlie B Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼

Chinese Fishing is the single largest threat to the global marine ecology & biodiversity. Chinese Fishermen are destroying the fishing resources of possibly every coastal country. The fishing stock in the waters of South Korean, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan & Malaysia in China neighbourhood, has drastically reduced. Chinese distant water fishing fleets are now posing survival threats to the small fishermen in the distant waters off Africa, Middle East, and South America. In South America, countries like Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Chile etc are facing imminent environmental & food crisis due to China's illegal unreported and unregulated fishing. In a welcoming move, Japan has now vowed to help the South American countries fight the menace of Chinese illegal fishing, by providing them with surveillance & patrolling equipments.

The illegal Chinese fishing vessels are forcing ecological, economical and security crisis in South America which is already going through a churn. Chinese fishing militia is taking the full advantage of the chaos & has doubled down on its exploitation of South America's fast depleting fishing resources. The Chinese shadow fishing fleet pillaging the waters of South America consist way more than 350 fishing boats. The fishing boats visible on the satellite vessel tracking systems are just the tip of the iceberg. RaymondOnly27 鈴森はるか『haruka suzumori』 🇯🇵 Matias E. Ruiz Trent Telenko

Having depleted fish stocks in its own coastal waters in the early 2000s, Chinese fishing boats are now destroying fishing stock all across the world. The destruction in South America by the Chinese fishing vessels is unimaginable. China now accounted for over 80 percent of fishing in the waters off Argentina, Ecuador, and Peru. China is ranked as the world’s worst nation in a IUU fishing index. Its fleet, by far the largest in the world, is regularly implicated in overfishing, targeting of endangered shark species, illegal intrusion of jurisdiction, false licensing and catch documentation, and forced labour.

Almost all of the coastal nations in Asia, Africa and South America are witnessing a rapid surge in illegal fishing activities inside their territorial waters by the Chinese Distant Water Fishing Fleets. China's illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is affecting millions of lives and causing billions of dollars in economic losses all across the world. Many of the protected and ecologically sensitive regions like the Galapagos are are being destroyed by the Chinese fishing fleets. China's unethical fishing practices are pushing many endangered species on the verge of extinction. This has to stop! The world can no longer afford to put a blind eye on the economic, social and environmental destruction caused by the CCP funded Chinese Fishing Vessels!

Australia donated this naval patrol boat to the archipelago nation of Palau in 2020. Within weeks of joining the Palau Navy, the Guardian-class patrol vessel apprehended an illegal Chinese fishing boat and it's 28 crew, near the Helen Reef, inside Palau's territorial waters. After depleting fishing stock in their own waters, Chinese fishing fleets have been venturing further, and for longer, into the Pacific in search of new fishing grounds. The illegal Chinese fishing boats don't spare even the most protected zones in the Pacific like the Galapagos Marine Reserve. What Palau did in 2020, needs to dune now by all the countries that facing the mean of illegal Chinese fishing fleets. There isn't two way, you either burn the Chinese boats to ashes or let them plunder you resources! TonySanghoLee RaymondOnly27 鈴森はるか『haruka suzumori』 🇯🇵 Matias E. Ruiz Trent Telenko

The Argentinian military found out that 80% of the fishing fleet operating near Argentinian waters is illegal Chinese boats. They lighten up the boats to attract squid. With this rate, in no time, this species would be on the brink of extinction. All thanks to China.

Chinese-owned fishing barges are operating in Lamu. The Chinese boats are registered in Kenya and operating in Lamu, where local fishermen struggle to earn a living through small-scale fishing. The Chinese-funded crews harvest fish on an unsustainable industrial scale. The Chinese fishing boats do not bring anything of value to the Lamu community but just take. They put kilometre-long nets that destroy the environment, as well as catch all the fish in the area. Numbering about 20 people, they have camped in Mada, Lamu. Each boat has a captain and five crew members of Kenyan nationality. The fishing crew is managed by a Chinese national, Wu Zhili. Yesterday, they went out and put about 50 lobster traps in the sea. How is intensive fishing allowed by the authorities? If nothing is done, there will be nothing left for the Lamu fishermen soon, pushing their families into abject poverty. #SemaUkweli

The Chinese Distant Water Fishing Fleet is now a Global Problem. Having depleted the seas close to home, the Chinese fishing fleet has been sailing farther afield in recent years to exploit the waters of other countries, including those in West Africa and Latin America, where enforcement tends to be weaker as local governments lack the resources or inclination to police their waters. Most Chinese distant-water ships are so large that they scoop up as many fish in one week as local boats from Senegal or Mexico might catch in a year. The Chinese distant water fishing felts are also notorious for hunting critically endangered & protected spiciest like sharks, sea turtles, giant squids, giant clams etc. They deliberately engage in some of the most destructive fishing methods like electro-fishing, dynamite fishing, Sea floor scraping etc. TonySanghoLee RAW EGG NATIONALIST Michael Yon: Callsign BIG HONEY

NOW 🔥🇨🇳 China announces special maritime operation east of Taiwan The Chinese Ministry of Transport reported that the operation, launched on June 6, involved the maritime navigation departments of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, the East China Sea Maritime Navigation Center, and the East China Sea Maritime Rescue Administration. Beijing stated that the operation aimed to exercise administrative jurisdiction over the sea, strengthen patrols in remote maritime areas, and safeguard China's "national rights and interests." According to CCTV, the operation was triggered by recent announcements from Japan and the Philippines regarding negotiations on maritime boundary delimitation in the area east of Taiwan. Chinese authorities viewed these plans as an infringement on China's sovereignty and legitimate maritime rights.

An another video of Argentina Navy firing high caliber shots as Chinese fishing vessels operating illegally inside Argentina's territory! Hundreds of Chinese Fishing Vessels swarm inside Argentina's territory each day. The Chinese fishing boats hunt for giant squid, which are abundant along the Argentine coast and a vital food source in the marine ecosystem. At night, many of these fishing vessels turn on bright lights to lure squid to the surface, where they are harvested using a large net. The lights are so strong that they can be seen from space. As a result of China's illegal fishing activity in it's Waters, Argentina is loosing billions of dollars worth of marine resources each year. Having depleted their own domestic fishing resources, the Chinese fishing fleets are now destroying fishing resources all across the world! TonySanghoLee Euan Graham Natasha Chart 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦

What Chinese Distant Water Fishing Vessels are doing inside the Exclusive Economic Zones of Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Panama and other South American nations, is surely not industrial fishing. This is a well organised plunder of marine resources, funded and facilitated by the Chinese State. Chinese fishing militia is not only threatening the economies of these nations that depend heavily on the export of fisheries, they are also threatening the food security and the delicate marine biodiversity and ecology. Often clashing with the local navies and coast guards, the Chinese fishing militia has grown to become one of the greatest security risk in South America. China's Global Fishing Offenses need to be addressed.

PCG and BFAR Deploy Assets to Support Filipino Fishermen in BDM and Escoda Shoal The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), in collaboration with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), has been actively deployed in Bajo de Masinloc and Escoda Shoal since yesterday. The primary objective is to ensure the safety and security of Filipino fishermen in these areas while distributing fuel, ice, and food packs to extend their fishing operations as part of the Kadiwa para sa Bagong Bayaning Mangingisda (KBBM) Program. Yesterday morning, the PCG monitored a group of fishermen being harassed and prevented from fishing near Bajo de Masinloc by Chinese Maritime Militia vessels and Chinese Coast Guard vessels 3103 and 3303. In response, the PCG vessel BRP Cabra, along with ten (10) BFAR vessels, were immediately dispatched to rendezvous with more than 30 Filipino fishing vessels. Upon arrival, the Filipino fishing boats received fuel subsidies and expressed gratitude to the national government for the support. Notably, the fishermen also reported an unidentified drone flying overhead, seemingly documenting their activities. Additionally, both the PCG and BFAR confirmed that Starlink connections are disconnected upon entering within 12 nautical miles of Bajo de Masinloc. In Escoda Shoal, Filipino fishing boats contacted the PCG vessel to report harassment by Chinese Maritime Militia and Chinese Coast Guard vessels 4203 and 5303, which prevented them from continuing their fishing activities. The PCG vessel BRP Cape Engaño proceeded to their location to provide security. As of this update, the PCG vessel remains in the vicinity to ensure the Filipino fishing boats are not harassed and are safely protected. PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan reiterated his commitment that the primary priority of PCG vessels deployed in these areas is to promote peace, stability and rule of law, while fulfilling the goverment’s responsibility to safeguard Filipino fishermen. This is in furtherance of the standing guidance of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., to assert the nation's rights firmly without provocation, while prioritizing the protection of our fishermen.

🇨🇳🇦🇷 China vs Argentina — Tensions Surface at Sea The video shows the Chinese fishing vessel Lu Yan Yuan Yu 010 sinking after being hit by the Argentine fleet — reportedly for illegal fishing in Argentine waters. Argentina claims it fired warning shots, but the vessel ignored them. This comes soon after Trump urged Argentina’s president to act decisively against China, right after approving financial aid to stabilize Argentina’s crisis-hit economy. Was this really about fishing — or something deeper moving beneath the waves? 🌊
