Eight Pacific Island nations known as the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) are widely extending their tuna ban on high-seas fishing starting on 1 January 2011. Burly fishing nations such as Japan, China, Taiwan and Korea will be compelled to pull out their tuna vessels from three Central Pacific Ocean areas.
The decision was revealed at a meeting of the 24-nation Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) going on in the Federated States of Micronesia. The area lies primarily to the east in the Central Pacific and also includes the two high seas pockets to the south around Fiji and the Cooks.
