Stakeholders seek quick U.S. plan for combating illegal fishing

摘要

Stakeholders yesterday gave feedback on what they hope will appear on the Obama administration's illegal fishing and seafood agenda due out later this year. At a public meeting held in Washington, D.C., crabbers from the Bering Sea told of the pirate fishing being done by the Russian market. Conservationists called for better traceability of seafood, while representatives from the commercial fishing industry noted the importance of recognizing that fraud may be happening at the most local levels.
