End the high seas heist [SC5 Greenpeace] :briefing to: the Fifth Regular Session of the Western & Central Pacific Fisheries Commission Scientific Committee (WCPFC-SC5) / Greenpeace

[Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia] :Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) ,2009


5 p. ,ill., map ; 30 cm.

"The Fifth Regular Session of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC5) in Busan, Korea failed to act on the scientific advice of this committee at its meeting in December, leaving the regional tuna stocks, especially bigeye and yellowfin, in an ever-deepening status of crisis that threatens the future of the region and its tuna industry. This briefing outlines some critical measures which Greenpeace believes that the Scientific Committee should recommend to the WCPFC6 (French Polynesia, 7-11 December 2009) to protect the valuable tuna resources and marine environment of the Pacific and in order to increase returns from the fishery."
