Management of highly migratory species that swim across national boundaries combines the challenges of fisheries management with the complexities of international negotiations. In the most recent episode of The Guide Post, ASGA's Willy Goldsmith sits down with Rick Weber, owner of South Jersey Marina and seasoned veteran of meetings of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or ICCAT.

Listen as they discuss the difficulties of building consensus among dozens of nations, the balance between effective conservation and a level playing field, and the outcomes of November’s ICCAT meeting regarding management measures for Western Atlantic bluefin tuna and North Atlantic shortfin mako sharks.

This podcast is presented by Costa Sunglasses.
