Both the Esperanza and the Arctic Sunrise are working with law enforcement agencies to battle pirate fishing on different sides of the planet. The story is the same from the Pacific to Poland, along with a lack of government resources to tackle the problem. At least the pirate excuses are amusing, ranging from “our nets must have moved” to “my reporting system is faulty”. But for fish stocks, it's not so funny.
