Sicilianews24.it: NPFC introduce misure contro la pesca illegale, ma mancano tutele per i Seamount Emperor.

Il Decimo Incontro della North Pacific Fisheries Commission
Si è svolto dal 14 al 17 aprile a Osaka, Giappone, il decimo incontro della North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC). Durante questo evento, i membri della NPFC hanno adottato nuove misure per combattere la pesca illegale, non dichiarata e non regolamentata (IUU). Tuttavia, organizzazioni non governative (ONG) hanno criticato la commissione per la mancata azione riguardo alla pesca a strascico lungo la catena montuosa degli Emperor Seamount, una regione ricca di biodiversità nel Northwest Pacific. Alcuni membri e osservatori della NPFC hanno anche espresso delusione per il regresso sulla gestione delle risorse e le misure di conservazione per il pesce volatore del Pacifico, oggetto di pesca da parte delle flotte di vari paesi membri.

NPFC is introducing measures against illegal fishing, but there are no protections for the Seamount Emperor.

The Tenth Meeting of the North Pacific Fisheries Commission
Took place from April 14 to 17 in Osaka, Japan, the tenth meeting of the North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC). During this event, members of the NPFC adopted new measures to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. However, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) criticized the commission for failing to take action regarding bottom trawling along the Emperor Seamount chain, a biodiversity-rich region in the Northwest Pacific. Some members and observers of the NPFC also expressed disappointment over a regression in the management of Pacific halibut resources and conservation measures for the fish, subject to fishing by fleets of various member countries.

A #Seamount is a large geologic landform that rises from the ocean floor that does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and thus is not an island, islet or cliff-rock.

Because of their abundance, seamounts are one of the most common marine ecosystems in the world.

Oregon’s most active underwater volcano could erupt this year,
according to a prediction recently shared by scientists.

The #Axial #Seamount,
located 300 miles from the state’s coast and one mile beneath the Pacific Ocean’s surface,
has been swelling at a steady rate for the past six months,
with seismic activity totaling hundreds of earthquakes per day,
according to an Oregon State University blog that chronicles eruption predictions of the sea volcano.

In November, scientists were tipped off about the possibility of an imminent explosion
when Axial’s surface swelled to nearly the same height it had risen to in 2015
—just before it last erupted.

"The team mapped a 1.9-mile tall #seamount, which is part of the #NazcaRidge, an underwater mountain range in the southeast #Pacific Ocean. The potentially #NewSpecies, which have yet to be officially confirmed, include a sea urchin, starfish and a squat lobster."
