ITALIAN SHIP TO HAND OVER 2 SECURITY MEN TO INDIAN POLICE

The owners of the Italian oil tanker Enrica Lexie have agreed to hand over two armed security men (Italian Marines) onboard the ship who are alleged to have shot dead two Indian fishermen on February 15 off Kollam coast India. Indian Coast Guard escorted the ship back to port after it failed to report the incident which was left for the surviving fisherman to do.

 

A case of murder was registered by Kollam police two days ago and the Indian authorities gave the ship an ultimatum for the men to surrender by 8 am Monday 20 February in connection with the incident. The two will be questioned by police before any further action is taken.

 

The late night announcement came shortly after India talked tough on the need for the Italian ship authorities to cooperate with the probe into the killing of the fishermen. Italian authorities in India first demonstrated reluctance for the two to be handed over for even routine questioning until the Indians turned the heat on.

 

Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna told his Italian counterpart Giulio Terzi in a phone call that the captain of the Italian oil tanker and the two men involved in the shooting must cooperate with Indian law enforcers and to let the law take its course. Mr Krishna said the loss of lives could have been avoided had the naval personnel on board the Enrica Lexie been careful and exercised restraint. He told Mr. Terzi that all information clearly indicated that the Indian fishermen were not carrying any arms or ammunition on board their vessel. He said Indian fishing vessels do not carry these on board but only fishing nets and the fish they catch. He told Mr Terzi of the strong public opinion and agitation in Kerala at the loss of the innocent lives and the need for an urgent resolution of this issue. The Chief Minister of Kerala described the killing of the fishermen as cold-blooded murder and promised stringent legal measurers against the people responsible for the shooting.Indian Foreign Minister S M Krishna told his Italian counterpart Giulio Terzi in a phone call that the captain of the Italian oil tanker and the two men involved in the shooting must cooperate with Indian law enforcers and to let the law take its course.

Indian Shipping Minister G K Vasan it was internationally well-known that when there is a piracy attack, certain protocol should be followed. "It was not followed here". He said there was a suspicion as to why the Italian ship did not report the incident on time.

Dr Martin D. Robards Wildlife Conservation Society Lead Author Of The New Study "International bodies such as the International Whaling Commission were formed specifically to gauge the status of whale populations and regulate the hunting of these giants. These species, however, represent only a fraction of the world's diversity of marine mammals, many of which are being accidentally netted, trapped, and -- in some instances -- directly hunted without any means of tracking as to whether these harvests are sustainable." Carlos Duarte Oceans Institute University of Western Australia Instituto Mediterráneo de Estudios Avanzados Spain “Increased speculation and discrepancies about current and future jellyfish blooms by the media and in climate and science reports formed the motivation for the study. There are major consequences for getting the answer correct for tourism, fisheries and management decisions as they relate to climate change and changing ocean environments. The important aspect about our synthesis is that we will be able to support the current paradigm with hard scientific data rather than speculation." Dr Tim Daw Lead author UEA's School of International Development Stockholm Resilience Centre "We found that half of fishermen questioned would not be tempted to seek out a new livelihood -- even if their catch declined by 50 per cent. But the reasons they cling on to their jobs are influenced by much more than simple profitability. Reduced profitability was certainly not the only deciding factor. Fishers often have an occupational attachment, job satisfaction, family tradition, culture, and a sense of identity, which makes them reluctant to stop fishing Dr Joshua Cinner Co-author ARC Centre of Excellence for coral reef Studies in Australia "Surprisingly, fishermen in the more vibrant and developed economies were less likely to give up their trade despite having more economically fruitful opportunities open to them. This is the reverse of the common belief that poor communities are less likely to adapt than wealthy ones. We suspect that this may be in part due to the perverse impacts of subsidies in more developed countries encouraging people to stay in the fishery which would otherwise not be profitable." Dr Cathy Lucas Marine Biologist University of Southampton National Oceanography Centre "Clearly, there are areas where jellyfish have increased, the situation with the Giant Jellyfish in Japan is a classic example, but there are also areas where jellyfish have decreased, or fluctuate over the decadal periods. Understanding the long-term rather than short-term data is the key to solving the question about jellyfish blooms.”

J.

A one-pound (454-gram) bag of frozen shrimp produces one ton of carbon dioxide. 50 to 60 percent of shrimp farms are located in tidal zones in Asian countries, mostly on cleared mangrove forests.

Norberto Oldani Biologist Universidad del Litoral "More shad is being exported than the ecosystem can replenish. This year, for the first time, the species has practically not reproduced. This has never happened before. For breeding to occur, there must be reproductively fit adults. Some time ago the specimens caught would be seven or eight years old, but now fishers are harvesting two-year-olds that are just starting to lay their eggs. Year after year, resources are being depleted, species are disappearing, and catch specimens are smaller in size and lower in weight; in other words there is a loss of biomass...Lower water levels and increasing pressure from overfishing in the Paraná River are causing an unprecedented decline in fish stocks in the river that is regarded as the second most biodiverse in South America after the Amazon River...
