A dynamite catch - Global Times
Two foreign fishing boats suspected of conducting illegal fishing activities are blown up by the Indonesian navy in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, on Sunday.

Illegal fisheries: green cards for five countries, but red card for Sri Lanka. (EC -14.10.14)
European Commission, Press release, Brussels, 14 October 2014:
In its fight against illegal
fishing activities worldwide, the European Commission has today proposed
to ban imports of fisheries products from Sri Lanka
to tackle the commercial benefits stemming from illegal fishing. The
move comes after four years of intense dialogue with the country after
which it could not demonstrate that it sufficiently addressed illegal,
unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. In contrast, the Commission
today confirmed that Belize, Fiji, Panama, Togo and Vanuatu,
which had received warnings at the same time as Sri Lanka, have
successfully taken measures to tackle illegal fishing. Consequently, the
Commission proposes to lift the trade measures imposed in March this
year against Belize.

EU warns Philippines, Papua New Guinea over illegal fishing
The European Commission on Tuesday warned the Philippines and Papua New
Guinea over insufficient action to fight illegal fishing, threatening
them with further trade sanctions, according to an EU statement.
Both countries identified as non-cooperative in the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, are being given a yellow card warning and a reasonable time to respond and take measures to rectify the situation.

EU Rolls Out Trade Bans in Global Crackdown On Illegal Fishing
South Korea, along with Ghana and Curacao, last year was handed a "yellow card" warning. Continuing violations by South Korean-flagged ships, many in waters off the coast of West Africa, could bring further sanctions this year.
Belize, Cambodia and Guinea, in March of this year, were penalized with the first-ever EU red cards for pirate fishing.

Maria Damanaki: FARMED IN THE EU. -LET’S TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE
Eating fish has many health benefits. It is good for the heart, packed with protein and is an excellent source of nutrients. But the demand for such healthy food grows. And we cannot meet this demand by simply fishing more from our wild fish stocks.
This is why fish farming can contribute to alleviate this pressure, by increasing the offer of sustainable seafood. And also of healthy seafood:

EU takes concrete action against illegal fishing. -European Commission
Following a Commission proposal,
the Council of Ministers has today decided to list Belize, Cambodia and
Guinea-Conakry as countries acting insufficiently against illegal
fishing. After several warnings, measures will now come into effect
against the three countries to tackle the commercial benefits stemming
from illegal fishing. This means that imports into the EU of any
fisheries products caught by vessels from these countries will now be
banned, whilst EU vessels will not be allowed to fish in these
countries' waters. It is the first time that measures of this type are
adopted at EU level.
European Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Maria Damanaki, welcomed the decision:

Less is More: We Need a Global Strategy to End Fishing Overcapacity
The global ocean, from the coast to the high seas, is facing multiple threats. We rely on the ocean for food, for transport, for the very air we breathe, but the current systems in place for governing and managing its resources are not fit for purpose. As a result, fish stocks are being depleted, rich biodiversity is at risk and illegal fishing vessels threaten the food security of whole nations. It is our economies that suffer -- depletion of fish stocks alone costs the global economy an estimated $50 billion per year.
The root of the problem is fishing overcapacity: too many boats chasing too few fish. Most problematic are the thousands of powerful, modern boats, equipped with high-tech tools able to find fish almost anywhere. But the more fish these boats take out, the fewer fish there are that can reproduce, and the more fishers must turn to potent tools to find them.

Ευρωπαϊκή «κίτρινη κάρτα» σε 8 κράτη για παράνομη αλιεία
Η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή προειδοποίησε με κυρώσεις οκτώ αναπτυσσόμενες
χώρες αν δεν λάβουν περισσότερα μέτρα για να σταματήσουν την
«εγκληματική» παράνομη αλιευτική δραστηριότητα, επισημαίνοντας ότι είναι
η πρώτη φορά που προβαίνει σε ανάλογη δράση.
Η Επιτροπή δήλωσε μεν ότι δεν έχει ακόμη σκοπό να επιβάλει κυρώσεις στα κράτη Μπελίζε, Καμπότζη, Φίτζι, Γουινέα, Παναμά, Σρι Λάνκα, Τόγκο και Βανουάτου, ωστόσο τόνισε ότι θα μπορούσαν να αντιμετωπίσουν κυρώσεις, όπως η απαγόρευση πώλησης αλιευτικών εργαλείων στην Ευρώπη, αν δεν ανταποκριθούν στην προειδοποίηση.
«Αυτό δεν είναι μια μαύρη λίστα, αλλά μια κίτρινη κάρτα» δήλωσε χαρακτηριστικά η ελληνίδα Επίτροπος Αλιείας της ΕΕ Μαρία Δαμανάκη [1].
