Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Sailing from Tonga to Fiji during the end of the trade-wind season, Ben and Ashley aboard Nahoa encounter dozens of Chinese longliner vessels operating just outside the 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone.18:18 Using AIS, Ben identifies the end-markers of a four-mile-long longline — listed as "unknown" vessel type rather than fishing vessels — and explains how analysts identify loitering events: a vessel more than 20 miles offshore moving under two knots for over an hour.19:44 The fleet is roughly 80% Chinese, 5% Fijian, 5% Taiwanese, and one Danish vessel.20:01 Ben warns that sailing between the AIS beacons is possible but that fouling a prop or rudder in the submerged line would require stopping, entering the water, and cutting free.22:40 The passage itself is delayed in the Ha'apai group of Tonga while waiting over a week for a diesel supply ship; once fuel arrives and customs clearance is complete, they depart with a weather eye on cyclone-season spinners already appearing in the 10-day forecast.14:01 The crew also snorkels a calm-water reef, catches a yellowfin tuna on a handline, and shoots underwater footage using two Insta360 X5 cameras, one in a weighted dive housing for over-under shots.25:22
