The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) has declined to stop fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna, which is regarded as the most valuable fish in the Atlantic Ocean. Nevertheless, the commission has agreed to restrict its catch limit of bluefin to 13,500. This conclusion was made after a ten day meet. Mexico was permitted to catch 110 of these endangered sharks and other member countries decided that banning the fishing of sharks will be the ideal solution to conserve the bluefin sharks in the Atlantic. Susan Lieberman, Pew Environment Group’s international policy director remarked that the ICCAT, from the time of its existence, was more focused on the short-term commercial benefits of fishing and less on the aspect of conservation. Lieberman argued that unless fishing was completely stopped now, there was no chance for the recovery of the bluefin sharks to the level that would allow for fishery later.
