Introducing Operation Albacore
In 2016 Sea Shepherd started working with the government of Gabon to patrol their waters.
This allowed the Gabonese Navy (Marine Nationale) and Fisheries Observers from the Fisheries Enforcement Agency (ANPA) to conduct monitoring and boarding of both legal and illegal fishing vessels.
These patrols have resulted in a number of illegal vessels being detained and legal fishing operations being caught conducting illegal fishing activity.
Note: ANPA is now called DGPA – Department for Fisheries and Agriculture.

Africa’s hidden Eden
The issue of IUU is a huge area to tackle and one where Sea Shepherd can help fill the void, especially where governments do not have the resources to cover areas where others will not go to patrol.
Show the video (2.07 min), which explains about Africa’s wildlife and the need for patrols.

Documenting illegal vessels
During Operation Albacore Sea Shepherd has been able to document the illegal activities of vessels that had licenses to catch certain species, but were caught with others including sharks. Sea Shepherd has also documented numerous marine species who were caught as by-catch, including sharks, whale sharks, turtles and whales.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide
By-catch
By catch is a huge issue and is often under reported by legal fishing operations. During Sea Shepherd patrols in Gabon vessels have been found to have under reported their by-catch by 3 to 4 times what they have recorded in their logs, which means they could be recording only one in four fish caught as by-catch.
By-catch isn’t just marine life it can also be sea birds that are caught up in longlines.

Slide 11 - Video
Sea Shepherd crews spend long days on patrol monitoring and searching for illegal activity, the work can be hard and confronting, watching the destruction left behind by these illegal vessels. But they also have the privilege of seeing marine life at their best, being visited regularly by whales and dolphins while on patrol. A reminder of why we fight to save the oceans and marine life.
Show the video (2.03min) as the Bob Barker is visited by a massive pod of dolphins.
