Abstract/Notes | Industrial-scale tuna fishing fleets from all over the world have turned to Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea to benefits from the rising global demand for tuna (Thunnus sp.) and the rising price it commands. Fishing by FOC vessels is common in this region. The problem is compounded by the fact that fisheries control and surveillance are virtually non existent on the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the national economic exclusion zones (EEZs) off the west coast of Africa, where both legal and illegal foreign distant-water fishing fleets operate, are not sufficiently controlled either. This has not only resulted in the decline of fish stocks but has jeopardized the livelihoods of the coastal fishing communities and the food security of local populations. It also deprives thoose coastal states of potential revenue from healthy fisheries. |
