INDIAN OCEAN TUNA COMMISSION SETS NEW RULES TO AVERT STOCK COLLAPSE
On February 5, members of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission agreed to adopt new fishing rules to conserve tuna stocks in the Indian Ocean. The new measures will increase the monitoring of fish-aggregating devices (FADs), require all FADs to be registered, and restrict the number of fishing aids permitted for each vessel starting in 2024 (Guardian).
