Coastal nations and conservation groups have described an agreement to restrict fishing vessels from using devices that contribute to overfishing as a huge win for tuna populations and marine life.The adoption by fishing nations of tough proposals to restrict fish aggregating devices (FADs) in the Indian Ocean, follows warnings to EU officials from retailers, including Marks & Spencer, environmentalists and coastal nations that the tools are one of the main contributors to overfishing of Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna, because they catch high numbers of juveniles.
