The real target for the 265-strong fleet r sharks to serve the appetite for expensive fin soup, up to £350 a bowl, sold in markets across China & HK.

Night & day, the vessels the size of a football pitch-ransack the seabed, scooping up whale,sharks & other species like turtles.
The fleet may be far out to sea, but the impact is increasingly visible on the beaches, where plastic bottles bearing Chinazi writing & discarded by fishermen come ashore by the hundreds every day.

Where the hell are @GretaThunberg @AOC @BernieSanders @ewarren ?
Experts believe the estimated 25,000 bottles thrown overboard by Chinazi fishermen every day pose the greatest threat to the islands’ iguanas, tortoises, birds & fish.

In the last 3 months of last year, 8 tons of plastic waste was collected in the Galapagos.

Given this unfortunate record of illegal, unreported & unregulated fishing, rule breaking & willful environmental degradation, its important than ever that the international community stands together against the Chinazis.
