After Hollywood actor and film producer Leonardo DiCaprio recently spoke against China and its deep-sea fishing industry, earning the ire of Chinese state media as the upshot. In late September, DiCaprio had shared a New York Times piece titled 'How China Targets the Global Fish Supply' written by Steven Lee Myers, Agnes Chang, Derek Watkins and Claire Fu. The article detailed how after the fishing stocks in the coastal waters of the country were depleted, China "built a global fishing operation unmatched by any other country." Chinese commercial fishing ships, the article said for instance, fish in waters around the Galápagos Islands, which are part of Ecuador. And not to mention it is&nbsp;thousands of miles away from the Chinese coast.

While sharing the article, DiCaprio had written on Twitter, "The past two decades have seen China build its deep-sea fishing fleet into the thousands, resulting in China depleting its own stock of fish in oceans closest to them. In turn, their fishermen have sailed to other oceans across the world to continue deep-sea fishing."

On Wednesday, Leonardo DiCaprio was joined by Sean Penn to host a benefit at Soho Beach House, where tickets were reportedly priced at $25,000 per couple.

 
The event was for Penn’s charity CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort), and focussed on its COVID-19 programs in Latin America.

 
Guests were informed that DiCaprio was forced to fly back to New York earlier that day, and would be returning to Miami on a flight that very evening. But he was delayed on board.

 
Sources have reportedly told the media that DiCaprio did his best to raise money for the cause behind the event, and had even phoned in bids from the plane for the auction. Reportedly, he had helped to raise over $500,000 for CORE.

 
While the star, who did manage to reach the venue by 11 PM, raised a lot of money for the charity, maany questioned whether this one-day private travel was really necessary. It was, however, not clear if he flew private or commercial.

Penn’s CORE also works on diaster management. Its official website states, “From hurricanes to wildfires, it’s impossible to ignore climate change’s role in causing natural disasters. We are committed to a future where our environment is no longer at the root of the crisis, but rather a system of support.”

 
On the other hand, Leonardo DiCaprio is passionate about climate change.

 
In his 2016 Oscar-winning speech, DiCaprio said, “Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.”

 
"We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people out there who would be most affected by this," he added.&nbsp;

 
Guests at Sean Penn’s CORE charity event in Miami Beach also included names such as Michael Braun, Dylan Penn, Alan Faena, Francisco Costa, Patricia Velasquez, Marc Anthony, Soleil Moon Frye and Balthazar Getty.
