In the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the management of bluefin tuna is in the hands of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)—and the results can scarcely be described as good. Bluefin have been fished from these waters for 7,000 years but in the past 40, while they have been under the aegis of this group, their numbers have declined by three-quarters. In recent years the organisation, which is notorious for ignoring the advice of its own scientists, has been under some pressure. Moves have been made to transfer responsibility for the bluefin to a different body, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This organisation has the power to ban trade in an endangered species such as the bluefin entirely. Earlier this year the diminutive principality of Monaco, and its bluefin-loving Prince Albert, endorsed just such a proposal—which will be discussed next March at the CITES meeting in Doha. ICCAT also received a warning shot across its bows from America, which said it would support Monaco’s plan unless the commission adopted “significantly strengthened management and compliance measures”.
