US-Canada tuna treaty nears critical decision poinl

摘要

Asometimes tenuous albacore fishing agreement between the United States and Canada is up for renewal this year amid debate about whether the pact favors one side over the other.Under the treaty, each nation's albacore fleet can access either country's waters and use each other's ports and other services. The arrangement has been strained at times and was suspended in 2012, partly due to U.S. concerns over the number of Canadian vessels fishing in U.S. waters.
