Overfishing of bigeye tuna continues in the western and central Pacific tuna fishery, the world’s biggest tuna fishery, according to the 2010 tuna fishery assessment report released this month by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC).

The farmers are part of the IPM Brassica Project, an effective and environmentally friendly approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices.
