IOTC Debates Yellowfin Tuna Agreement to Reduce Catches

The 28th Indian Ocean Tuna Committee (IOTC) meeting is currently taking place in Bangkok, Thailand, where reduction of yellowfin tuna catches are being debated. This is a significant meeting, as decision-makers come together against a backdrop of increasing market pressure in their ongoing attempts to end the overfishing of Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna – a stock that has been overfished for almost a decade.
