The new Marine Park along the coast between the Medes Islands and L’Escala has been passed by the Catalan government.

The local authority has agreed to remove the old destructive make-shift buoys in Cala Montgo, where we have been carrying out research on the Posidonia seagrass meadows for the past 5 years, and to replace them with ecological buoys.

Kenna Eco Diving and other members of OCEAN2012 sent a letter to the French President Sarkozy last month, asking that France supports a ban on global trade in bluefin tuna.
Monaco has proposed protecting bluefin tuna, much beloved by sushi fans in Japan and around the world, by listing it under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
The European Union has come close to supporting that move, but fishing nations Spain, Italy, France, Cyprus, Greece and Malta last September voiced their opposition.

France’s policy change could be decisive at the next CITES meeting in Qatar in March, after Italy already said last week it would back a ban.

Anchovy and sardine fishing is being regulated in Mediterranean with new catch limits and a ban on fishing over threatened Posidonia seagrass beds under the Management Plan for the Conservation of the seafood resources of the Mediterranean Sea.
In an effort to help boost recovery of the seafood resources and to guarantee sustainable activity, the ministerial order prohibits capture “with trawler nets, dredgers and purse seiner nets on the beds of Posidonia Oceanica and in coralligenous and maërl beds.”
According to the new regulations, Spanish vessels in the ports of the Balearics and Andalusia will have to limit captures of European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus) to 7,000 kg weekly, and those of European pilchard (Sardine pilchardus), to 5,000 kg daily.
In the rest of the ports of the Spanish Mediterranean coast, 15,000 kg of anchovy per week and 5,000 kg of sardine per day will be allowed.
Vessels with purse seiner gear will only be able to execute one landing per day, except on the Andalusian coast and the Balearics, where they are permitted a maximum of two daily landings.
Purse seiner fishing vessels in the fishing-ground of the Mediterranean will be banned from fishing between 1 October and 31 March of every year within certain coordinates and the 45-metre isobaths.
Order 143/2010 also specifies a fishing prohibition of surface longliners from 1 October to 30 November of every year, and with bottom trawlers to depths over 1,000 metres in all the outer waters of the Mediterranean coast.
