Going Overboard: A Night on a Bottom Trawler

These photographs were shot on the 12th and 13th of November 2004, in the north-east Atlantic, after the Esperanza intercepted the Anuva, Lithuanian-registered, Spanish-owned bottom trawler operating in the Hatton Bank area. A dozen activists were despatched to board the trawler, where some of them spent almost 24 hours. The Deep Sea Defender team attempted to stop the bottom trawler from recasting its nets - which resulted in three of us being tossed into the Atlantic Ocean by the Anuva's unscrupulous captain.
