Abstract

This Recommendation of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas requires Contracting Parties, and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities (CPCs) to impose on vessels flying their flag to promptly release North Atlantic shortfin mako in a manner that causes the least harm, while giving due consideration to the safety of crew members. The Recommendation specifies when North Atlantic shortfin mako may be caught. CPCs shall endeavour to take further measures than those contained in this recommendation with the aim to stop overfishing and to rebuild the stock.
