After months of hard work (and a whole lot of grease and sweat), the #AgeOfUnion has left Las Palmas—newly refitted and ready to take on the fight against #IUUfishing.

Prepping a ship like this isn’t just about fixing what’s broken—it’s about making sure it’s built to handle whatever the ocean throws at it and ready to chase down those who put marine life at risk. Behind every freshly welded plate and tightened bolt is the dedication of a crew who keeps it all running—early mornings, late nights, and everything in between.💪

Goodbyes are never easy, and this one was bittersweet as we parted ways with the incredible team who poured their energy into this vessel, along with our friends on the #OceanWarrior.

But now, it’s time to do what we do best—defend the #ocean. 💙

The sanctions were for repeatedly turning off their satellite tracking devices that EU and Spanish laws require to be switched on to indicate a vessel’s location. Some experts have celebrated these […]
