Indian Ocean countries want to limit the use of harmful catch methods to manage the ocean's tuna, but the EU uses these methods. The EU seems set to oppose the plan.
wanting better safeguards for local marine life by updating fishing quotas and restricting harmful catch methods are facing resistance from the European Union, conservation groups say.
But the EU, which uses the fishing methods other countries want to limit, appears set to oppose the plans. "We urge the EU to abandon its past colonial stance on allocation of quotas," said Bloom's scientific director, Frédéric Le Manach."The EU cannot let history repeat itself."have called for a halt to the large-scale depletion of stocks and damage to marine species caused by industrial methods which catch vast numbers of tuna.
"Vacuuming millions of juvenile tuna ... is not okay," said Seychellois ecologist Nirmal Jivan Shah."What kind of society do we live in when the value of the ocean is reduced to a tuna can?"
