13th session of WPCFC or the Tuna Commission

Tuna commission chair says body needs to be selective

Speaking to Pacific media on the eve of the 13th session of WPCFC or the Tuna Commission, Rhea Moss-Christian, said most members come to the annual meeting with a wish list.

But Ms Moss-Christian said it is necessary for the commission to be selective and small steps are progress in an organisation with more than 20 members, each with different interests and perspectives.

The Commission said the tuna stock is at 16 percent of acceptable stock levels.
