Conserving Bluefin Tunas, Sea Turtles, From Fishing Industry- ICCAT, New Measures

The European Union and the 47 contracting parties of ICCAT held a meeting on 21st of November, 2022

The ICCAT is an intergovernmental organization responsible for the conservation & management of tuna & other species in the Atlantic ocean and adjacent seas

The Bluefin tuna, Mako shark, and marine turtles will be the focus of the management plan's attention

To design a new management technique, extensive study, in-depth analysis, modeling, and testing were carried out

It is noted that the management is now open, inclusive, and capable

Total authorized catches (TAC) of 40,570 tonnes for the eastern stock, [with a share of 21,503 tonnes for the EU], are based on the revised management approach

A fresh recommendation for sea turtle protection has also been approved by ICCAT and will contribute to reducing the mortality rate of sea turtles

The provisions that have been adopted will be used in the Atlantic and will help to lower the death rate of sea turtles in ICCAT fishing

In order to stop the southern stock of shortfin mako (SMA) from declining at the same rate as the northern stock, the EU put forth an ambitious proposal for its conservation

A total retention allowance of roughly 1,300 tonnes was determined, which, when combined with projected discards, does not surpass the SMA limit of 2,001 tonnes set by the ICCAT Standing Committee on Research and Statistics (SCRS)

Despite the EU's best efforts, a consensus on a suggestion for a new multi-annual conservation and management programme for tropical tunas was regrettably not obtained

The EU has also advanced the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing

The EU was also at the forefront of enforcing control and combating IUU by a number of CPCs, whose dismal track record the EU exposed and which ICCAT will monitor
