In 1988, Sea Shepherd released footage of dolphins being killed by an American-owned tuna seiner. They later stopped a tuna seiner from killing a pod of dolphins off of Mexico. In 2019 they commissioned a new 67m seiner from the Piriou shipyard. Kuranda's work "Belgien Seit Seiner Revolution" appeared in Leipzig in 1846. Franz Seiner came across the plant in the sands of the mid-Kalahari. As a youth, he worked on a purse seiner crew on the Columbia River.
