2001-11-28 有31艘拖網漁船和3艘漁獲運輸船被國際環保組織綠色和平成員發現，它們在西非沿海地區非法掠奪漁場資源；這些漁船所捕獲的魚類都是屬於最具經濟價值的物種。在捕撈長鬚蝦、頭足類生物、鰨魚的過程中，數十種其他海洋生物被殺死並且丟棄。綠色和平今天公佈了新資料，是由「MV綠色和平」在今年9月期間前往幾內亞的科納克里與獅子山的外海，進行第二趟蒐證之旅時所收集的資料。由於部分發展中國家並沒有資源足以去巡邏自己的海域和控制漁業活動，海盜漁船就利用了這樣的弱點非法作業。

（編按：藉由這些相關盜漁現象的資料，綠色和平呼籲歐盟採取策略，從市場機制上去禁止盜捕漁獲的交易，進而遏制海盜漁船的活動。）

Some 31 fishing trawlers and three fish transport vessels operating outside of any legal control and plundering fish stocks have been sighted by Greenpeace off the coast of West Africa, where they are fishing for the most valuable species. In the process of catching prawns, cephalopods, sole, tens of other species are killed and discarded. The international environmental organisation published new data today which was gathered during September 2001, when the vessel MV Greenpeace sailed off the coasts of Guinea Conakry and Sierra Leone for a second documenting expedition. In the developing world, pirate vessels take advantage of some countries' lack of resources to patrol their waters and control fishing activities.
