The WCPFC Secretariat had called for a 30% cutback, in line with scientific advice, and Greenpeace--a more aggressive environmental group--had called for a 50% reduction.
4 Countries acknowledge the important roles of regional organisations in strengthening fisheries management and conservation in the region including the FAO/APFIC, WCPFC, 1OTC, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), ASEAN, INFOFISH, the South East Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), and WorldFish Center.
The WCPFC disregarded the advice of its science committee and its chair in making this decision, which comes just a few weeks after the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) and the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) also rejected their scientists' pleas for significant cuts to catches in the face of declining tuna populations.
