| Green peace doing push on their tuna campaign, thankfully they are out there chasing boats and trying to save the tuna. Getting rid of tinned tuna from supermarket shelves is something we can do. Spread the word to get rid of those horrible tins. |

@sposman - very good post. After watching the Greenpeace TV ad I'm sure 1000's of people will become more aware of the horrible going's on within the Fishing industry. Their ad is top notch and hits the spot. I've contributed to Greenpeace for a while as I like their hands on lets get going attitude. Greenpeace actions filmed for the world to see goes a lot further towards convincing the public that there are MASSIVE issues that need resolving. Legasea a poor example of an efficient protest group, toothless and too passive. Legasea seems to believe that science and common sense will prevail over total corruption.....ERROR. Its obvious Greenpeace is an experienced professional organisation and Legasea is an amateur one.

Good to hear Greenpeace are on to it. It has been open slather on Tuna for a long time now. Far too long. Even out here there is no QMS for Albacore or Skipjack. Hang on that cant be right---we are Green--must be some mistake. |

And this unfortunately is the issue with anything that gets posted in the Fisheries management section...... P.O.S gets to infect it with his narrative. Respectfully I think you have made a mistake Grunta. ------------- "I love standing by the ocean and just knowing what its for" |

Titahi - as the saying goes "the truth hurts" in this case. The visual effect of the GREENPEACE TV ad is TOP stuff. It shows the damage, ,massacre and the hands on action of Greenpeace. Its on TV in New Zealand right NOW today. LegaSea - a New Zealand organisation that hasn't as yet organized an effective TV campaign, has NOT yet successfully got on board the required people (identifiable and respected NZ personalities to front a campaign about protecting NZ fishing). I wonder whether Legasea has looked into associating themselves with Greenpeace on a set of issues that have a common goal? I find it strange that you and any other people should find my post offensive, facts are FACTS my dear. ------------- CEO - Pugsy Corporation Inc. |

Greenpeace is now just a corporate fund raising entity. Any publiicity that results in the ability to ask for more donations is good, never mind he veracity of what they say. Wouldn't give them a cent these days.

Yea ,thats right,there's so many other much more capable and upstanding and independent organisations out there working to protect whats left of the marine enviroment,who needs greenpeace. Are there?I'm not aware of them but you just keep standing on whats left of your moral higher ground and wait for one of them to take over what greenpeace has been actually doing for 30? years

"Upstanding" "independent"??????????????? nup Greenpeace don't qualify on either, more likely money grubbing political activists dissociated from the truth where it doesn't suit their means. I actually was a supporter and made monthly donations in the 70's and 80's until they deviated into political activism.

@saltyC - The ONLY organisation that is denouncing the unmitigated rape of world fishing resources is GREENPEACE. There's NO Kiwi organisation willing or organised enough to do that. So perhaps we should respect them for doing that. Legasea needs to show some signs of being something other than a working committee in progress IMO. Even though I'm on their side I do find that Legasea does bang on about research findings and quote government data sources until they are blue in their face. This type of reasoning will NEVER get the average Kiwi in behind this cause. IMO Legasea must simplify the issues so that the cause becomes current/ TRENDY,to do this TV channels,sponsors and advertising companies will need to be involved. Hell if John Kirwan can be knighted for his fronting of a limited Kiwi health issue surely that's evidence enough that the advertising media is crucial. If I was Legasea I'd find out the name of Kirwans MEDIA contacts asap. ------------- CEO - Pugsy Corporation Inc. |

Yea, well,you can use that as an (excuse)reason to not support them but regardless of whatever shortcomings, greenpeace is an instantly recognisable worldwide brand that is known for taking a stand on enviromental issues.
Who else is there?sea shepard? I guess you won't agree with their tactics either but there is no denying both outfits have significant success with the campaigns they wage. Until there is a viable option I suggest supporting greenpeace etc is better than doing nothing. btw.upstanding ,independent,refering to your preferred protecters of the planet,not making claims for greenpeace |
