PERU fishing with guts to report…
The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) confiscated the burden of tuna fishing vessel docked in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, which it accuses of having used a forbidden art of fishing.
The ship, Mtanos Sei, was carrying 66 tonnes of tuna and 70,000 square feet of seine fishing net, an equipment whose use is prohibited in the Northeast.
This type of fishing, however, is authorized in the southern states and southeastern Brazil.
The fishing was monitored since he left Porto de Itajaí, Santa Catarina, until he was arrested in Natal, Globo reported.
Según indicó Cláudia Zagaglia, Jefa de fiscalización del Ibama, “the boat had an experimental provisora authorization issued by the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture (MPA) to use seines”.
The boat stopped wearing a network of 700 meters long and 100 meters high, and to check that had been fishing from Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará, the offense is reported.
The fine amounts to BRL 1 million (USD 388,300), and its owner has 20 days to present his defense.
IBAMA authorized the sale of fish found in the hold of Mtanos Sei.
