Children and teenagers sit together to be registered by officials during a raid on a shrimp shed in Samut Sakhon, Thailand.
About 8 years ago, I had the joy of doing a live news
interview from a fish processing factory in Grimsby. Being in a fish processing
factory in Grimsby was fine, it was wearing a hair net on national TV that wasn’t.
The story being discussed was seafood brand Young’s decision
to ship UK-caught shrimp all the way to Thailand and back, a move that was ‘better’
in terms of CO2 emissions, and cheaper for consumers.
But what price do we pay for cheap seafood?

Our investigations are a fundamental part of
our campaigns. We expose those responsible for environmental crimes. We have a
global reach, we have research teams and millions of supporters in countries
around the world. This means we can investigate environmental crimes and
impacts wherever they are happening, whether it is the middle of the jungle, or
even, with the help of Rainbow Warrior and its sister ships, in the far oceans.

We investigate, expose and confront environmental abuse by governments and corporations around the world.
We champion environmentally responsible and socially just solutions, including scientific and technical innovation.
Greenpeace intervenes at the point where our action is most likely to provoke positive change - whether this is intervening at the point of an environmental crime, targeting those who have the power to make a difference, engaging people and communities who can leverage change, or working for the adoption of environmentally responsible and socially just solutions. Usually, our campaigns involve elements of all of these tactics.

Greenpeace volunteers this morning entered Travis Perkins timber merchants in Dalston, East London and tried to cordon off areas of the store containing illegal and destructively logged timber from Indonesia's last remaining rainforests.
The store is one of 24 Travis Perkins timber merchants in 15 regions around the country (including Hampstead, Paddington, Vauxhall, Battersea and Palmers Green in London) being visited by Greenpeace volunteers today.
