    ICCAT -- International Commission for the Catching of All Tuna is a sham. Many posters said the same thing a year or so ago when Monaco pushed for a complete ban on bluefin fishing to allow the stock to recover. But the Japanophiles here said "Not necessary" because ICCAT was going to address the situation and Japan was also committed to lowering catches. Yeh, right.

    And since this conference is in Istanbul, I would expect proposals on how to protect pedestrians from tripping into buckets of fish on the Galata bridge left and right left there by zillions of fishermen.
