The
activist group is using new information from Interpol in its bid to
catch three ships illegally fishing.
At
New Zealand's request, Interpol has issued formal alerts against the
vessels.
The Sam
Simon's captain, Sid Chakravarty, said the notices make the
poachers' vessels wanted across 190 countries.
He
said while that would make it extremely hard for them to offload
their catch, they need to be stopped from fishing in the first
instance.
Mr
Chakravarty said he was still prepared to use direct action against
the poachers.
