Maldives Considers Reviving Longline Fishing: Economic Gains vs. Environmental Concerns
The Maldives is considering reintroducing longline fishing to better use its yellowfin tuna quota of 47,517 metric tons for 2022 set by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, with Fisheries Minister Ahmed Shiyam arguing the country used only 61 percent of that quota. The proposal raises environmental concerns over bycatch and regulatory issues, while five IOTC member states have opposed catch restrictions.
