In Seville, #ICCAT can improve its track record on Monitoring and Control:
- Improve Rec. 23-17 on Port State Measures.
- Adopt a timeline to reach 100% monitoring coverage (human and/or electronic) for all the industrial tuna fleet and vessels used for at-sea transhipment.

#ICCAT faces a pivotal year for shark protection. We urge CPCs to:
- Adopt a #FinsNaturallyAttached policy;
- Deliver real protection measures for North and South Atlantic makos;
- Advance on management objectives for the #Blueshark MSE.

With the end of the first Management Procedure (MP) cycle for #bluefintuna, it’s crucial to keep the efforts made by #ICCAT to manage this species sustainably by agreeing on an MP for the next management cycle!
