<p>The 17th Special Meeting of ICCAT occurs November 17-27, 2010 in Paris, France. ICCAT is a fisheries body that manages approximately 30 species of fish – including tuna, sharks and billfish – caught in the Atlantic Ocean. At the November meeting, Pew is calling for immediate protection of Atlantic bluefin tuna, critical conservation management for sharks and the reduction of illegal fishing.</p> http://www.pewtrusts.org/news_room.aspx <br />An estimated 47,000 to 105,000 fish aggregating devices (FADs) are currently in use worldwide to catch tuna according to the Pew Environment Group. Pew released this first-ever estimate of the use of FADs at the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission meeting today to bring attention to this growing and unregulated fishing technique.

Two years earlier, the amount traded exceeded the quota by 31 percent. These figures do not account for “black market” bluefin missing from official databases.</p> Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:25:00 GMT http://www.pewtrusts.org/news_room_detail.aspx?id=85899365271&WT.rss_ev=f&WT.rss_f=International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)&WT.rss_a=Mediterranean Tuna 'Gap' Widens&WT.z_contenttype=PressRelease <p>The Pew Environment Group has launched a new Web site to share the work of our campaigns and research programs.
