Ecologists in Action requires the Government and the communities of Andalusia, Murcia, Basque Country, Catalonia and Balearic move all the paperwork necessary to open an investigation to find those responsible for the "theft" of more than 500,000 tons of bluefin tuna in the last 15 years.
In a statement, Greenpeace claims that if the administration does not promote this initiative they will be responsible for the gradual disappearance of artisanal fisheries around the species.
thus ensure decade and a half that illegal catches of bluefin tuna have exceeded 500,000 tons, which has moved a turnover of around U.S. $ 4,000 million (about EUR 2.847 million), according to the report of the International Consortium of Journalists Research (ICIJ, for its acronym in English).
maintain that the investigations conducted by the Pew Environment Group are "alarming" because it is estimated that 50 percent of the landings of tuna in the Mediterranean - as well as sword fish from illegal fishing. What, in your view, shows a "clear absence of adequate means of control" on the fishing and systematic failure of the recovery plan of ICCAT.
Ecologists in Action began on day 23 a 'cyberaction' which reiterates its request to open an investigation into the "looting" of these fish to find the culprits of "overexploitation" of species and a large measure of "crisis" which is the artisanal fishing fleet and has confidence that those responsible come to repair the damage caused by the crime of illegal fishing.
three months ago, Ecologists in Action sent a letter to the Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine requesting a moratorium on tuna fishing red and denouncing the "bad" management and illegal fishing as well as "careless reporting, fraud and lack of respect for science", which, according to their data, have resulted in an estimated decrease of up to 85% of populations of this species since 1970.
