The Sea shepherd organisation are doing some rely superb work in stopping the predatoral behaviour done by mainly one counties fishing fleet Around Africa. I don't always agree with there way of executing actions. But in the fishing domain and mainly in and around African waters I think they really step up. For example doing action with the local authorities as they usually don't have the same equipment to execute something like what they can. Keep upp the good work.
