Mediterranean tuna management an “international disgrace”

According to Greenpeace, an independent review panel of international fisheries experts has branded the management of the Mediterranean bluefin tuna fishery an “international disgrace”. The body responsible for the conservation of tunas and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas is the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). The independent panel was commissioned by this very organisation to review its performance following concerns raised by the international community about the management of tuna fisheries resources.
