Blacklisted In:
  • Greenpeace
  • Reason for blacklisting: ICCAT Recommendation [03-04] relating to Mediterranean swordfish prohibits the use of driftnets for fisheries of large pelagics in the Mediterranean Sea. It is the responsibility of all ICCAT Contracting Parties to enforce this Recommendation and adopt a specific management plan in order to protect the stock of swordfish in the Mediterranean Sea and sustain this fishery. This continued illegal activity should have come to an end when the European Union banned the use of driftnets for catching a wide range of pelagic fishes. EC Regulation EC/1239/98, that entered into force on January 2002.
