Tuna commission urged to add fishing halt to trade ban to save bluefin
Countries meeting in Brazil this week need to agree urgently to temporarily halt bluefin tuna fishing in the face of collapsing semporary fishing ban as bluefin tuna stocks collapse, warned WWF.

Interest grows in neglected global water treaty
