“The status quo won’t cut it,” said Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority Director Director Glen Joseph Friday about current levels of fishing for bigeye. “We need to take action now while we have the opportunity or the stock will crash.”
Following repeated scientific reports stating that bigeye is being overfished, “this is a concern that everyone shares,” Joseph said.
“The difficulty is getting everyone to agree on a meaningful measure (to conserve bigeye).”
