Bali hosts fishery conference<\/p>\n
KUTA, Bali: The management and regulation of migratory fish
\nresources would be one important topic discussed in the five-day
\ninternational conference on fisheries, Minister of Fishery and
\nMariime Affairs Rokhmin Dahuri said here on Monday.<\/p>\n
\"This is an important issue because migratory fish, such as
\ntuna, cannot be managed by one single country alone,\" he said at
\nthe Conference for the Establishment of the Western and Central
\nPacific Fisheries Commission (PrepCom VI WCPFC).<\/p>\n
The conference is being attended by 196 delegates from 24
\ncountries.<\/p>\n
Dahuri said participating countries should sit down together
\nand develop a policy to ensure all could get the most benefit
\nfrom these resources.<\/p>\n
The conference would also consider the establishment of a
\nfisheries commission. The commission would attempt to foster
\ncooperation between countries in the Western and Central Pacific
\nregions to manage fishery resources, he said.<\/p>\n
\"Indonesia would get several privileges in the (proposed)
\ncommission since we are one of the WCPFC's founding countries,\"
\nDahuri said, without going into details. --JP<\/p>",
