The Plunder of BlueFin Tuna in the Mediterranean & East Atlantic During 2006-2007

31/10/2007

This report follows on from a similar one covering the period 2003-04. The author examines the activities of the fishing fleets from a number of European, North African and Asian countries fishing for tuna in the Mediterranean and the North East Atlantic, and claims that the mismanagement of fishing activities is leading the collapse of the valuable tuna stocks, driving them towards possible extinction.
