The purpose of this blacklisted vessels and company database is to provide a single database tool with convenient search functions for national fisheries administrators, particularly from developing countries, and others to quickly check on the compliance status of foreign vessels trying to unload its catch in port, seeking services in port, seeking a fishing license or to register or flag in a country. It is hoped that the database will serve as a tool for retailers and suppliers to ensure the fish they source do not come from pirate fishing vessels or from companies involved in such activities.The database will also hold information of irresponsible fishing vessels and companies that fish without a license or are in breach of management and conservation measures that Greenpeace comes across during it’s time at sea or in monitoring well known ports of illegal fish landings, or is reported from other reliable sources. It is hoped that this information will further assist authorities to deal adequately and in a timely and efficient manner with pirate fishing.[ Please note that Greenpeace is still in the process of entering and checking data for this database].
