Playa De Tambo Trawler Action
Greenpeace activists tag the 65 meter, Spanish flagged, bottom trawler, Playa de Tambo with the words ?Deep Sea Destroyer?. The fishing vessel, whose legal status is uncertain, was bottom trawling for the deep sea species, Greenland Halibut, in international waters of the NW Atlantic. The Playa de Tambo was cited twice earlier this year for breaking fishing regulations in this area. Greenpeace is calling for a UN moratorium on high seas bottom trawling. The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) has been in existence since 1979 to manage and conserve the fishery resources of the Northwest Atlantic. Despite its adoption of a wide range of conservation and management measures and a well developed institutional structure, NAFO has been unable to achieve its mandate and as of 2005, ten stocks under NAFO?s competence are currently under moratoria.
