A new method that uses gene sequencing to accurately distinguish between tuna species has the potential to support fisheries management and possible trade restrictions for endangered tuna species. The revelation closely follows news that an international wildlife trade convention is to consider a proposal to ban international trade in the Mediterranean tuna next March.
The world’s ability to control climate change could be crippled if global leaders do not support clear and effective targets to arrest deforestation at climate talks in Copenhagen in December, WWF said at the conclusion of a key global foresty summit.
Business and policy leaders will get together in Manila next year to debate how to protect the Coral Triangle, the world’s most diverse marine environment.
Tuna conservation and management measures for the western and central Pacific approved just last December are “highly unlikely” to restore bigeye and yellowfin tuna fishing to sustainable levels, according to a recently completed assessment.
A series of conservation maps produced by WWF reveal for the first time the secret life of endangered turtles in the world’s most diverse marine region – the Coral Triangle.
The maps are the first to bring together the different life cycle movements, migration routes, foraging grounds, and nesting sites of green, hawksbill and leatherback turtles.
Four of the most commercially valuable sharks - one a staple of fish and chips - have just been listed as being of conservation concern by the International Convention on Migratory Species. WWF has actively lobbied for this recognition
Yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna fisheries in the western and central Pacific also face collapse if a forthcoming management meeting doesn't dramatically change the way they are harvested, WWF warned today.
A 30-metre Taiwanese vessel, found abandoned on a Balinese reef badly damaged and leaking oil, has compelled WWF to issue a renewed call for the countries of the Coral Triangle to impose and enforce more stringent monitoring and accountability measures to cut down on illegal fishing.
