Same old sun - War at Sea Lyrics

In 2020 a massive Chinese fishing fleet anchored close to the Galapagos islands
In one of the worlds most diverse habitats it broke every rule
It was like looking at a city at night
They just pulled up everything
They just pulled up everything
A rare whale shark, named Hope, the biggest fish in the world
Disappeared from a satellite tracker at just about the same time
They just pulled up everything
Before she disappeared from view her speed increased to six knots for the last 32 minutes.
Which is of course the speed of a fishing boat.
The Galapagos marine reserve is a place of great biodiversity
Its an explosion of life
This is a place that could be sustainably exploited, and has been for many thousands of years by local fishermen
But this is not fishing, this is simply destroying the resources of the ocean
The Galapagos marine reserve
Its an explosion of life
