WWF’s Position Paper for ICCAT Commission meeting highlights the urgent need for a requirement that all sharks are landed with fins naturally attached and a zero catch limit of mako sharks in the Atlantic.

While other RFMOs have started adopting a FNA policy already ICCAT has failed to do so so far and MSC has neither been pushing for a FNA policy in their certified fisheries

1 2019 POSITION PAPER On the occasion of the 26th Regular meeting of the Commission, WWF encourages ICCAT Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-contracting Parties (CPCs) to continue their efforts and actions to improve the state of the stocks, maintaining progress.

“In addition, WWF asks all CPCs to make further efforts to finally progress on the adoption of a fins attached policy for sharks, following the remarkable steps forward already made by NAFO (2017), GFCM (2018) and partially IOTC (2018) in this direction.”
