#UPDATE: A picture is worth a thousand words. The MV Sam Simon Quartermaster, Mattias Kirsch, encompasses the spirit of Operation Icefish in this image, battling through thousands of metres of illegal gillnets, against the elements in spite of exhaustion, to rid the Southern Ocean of the curtains of death left behind by the poaching vessel, Thunder. Determination. Passion. Grit. The Sam Simon continues the hunt for the 3 toothfish poaching vessels that evaded the New Zealand Navy last week. The MV Bob Barker is on day 36 of its pursuit of the Thunder. At 1838 hrs (AEDT) yesterday, the Thunder turned aggressively towards the Bob Barker and picked up speed. Capt. Peter Hammarstedt radioed the Thunder and spoke to the captain. He asked the captain of the Thunder to respect the Rules of the Road and to navigate safely. The captain of the Thunder replied and said to “keep a safe distance from him” or “wed both regret it.” #SeaShepherd #OperationIcefish Photo: Giacomo Giorgi
