Comments made by Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) President Paul Watson regarding the humane harvest by Inuit hunters of narwhals trapped in ice near Pond Inlet, Nunavut, have crossed the line beyond reasonable dissent.
It's that time of year again when certain groups begin distributing misinformation about Canada's harp seal hunt, which tarnishes the reputation of Aboriginal and Atlantic sealers. As Canada's Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, I want to make sure the facts are clear.
I am concerned that the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) has failed to adopt measures to reverse the decline of bluefin tuna in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
