Gary Carter, owner of the sportfishing boat Silver Rod O, has filed a stiff protest with the Chinchilla government against La Rosa Mistica, a Venezuelan tuna seiner vessel for alleged aggressive tactics including allegedly launching explosive devices that placed the Silver Rod, its passengers and crew in danger.
The U.S.-owned Silver Rod was fishing near a school of spinner dolphins and yellow-fin tuna off the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula when first, the tuna ship's helicopter, then the tuna vessel itself bore down upon the smaller vessel, the complaint said. Carter also reported the incident to the nonprofit Billfish Foundation of which he is a member.
