Vanuatu's Minister of Foreign Affairs has recalled his November letter to the IOTC on IUU fishing of Vanuatu-flagged vessels. The Chinese owned boats were missing authorization and thus illegally fishing. Why it was withdrawn...zurl.co/3K6xj #Vanuatu #IOTC #tuna #IUU

Been dabbling in making playlists for my original characters and decided to draw cover art for two of them! I'll probably end up doing the other ones at some point as well #originalcharacters #iotc #noai
🚨This EJF report should act as a wake up call for the Indian Ocean fisheries and its tuna RFMO, #IOTC. IOTC and its members need to take immediate action over its glaring gaps on regional VMS (only tRFMO without one), catch documentation scheme, high seas boarding & inspection and labour standards.
All #RFMOs, for example, ask for BO information when a fishing vessel is IUU listed or for port inspections. #IOTC, a pioneer, also requires BO for authorising vessels to fish. In reality implementation is patchy, full of gaps and misreporting. Same applies with the @fao.org's Global Record. 6/10
