S. Pacific Nations Raise Drift Netting Issue At This Year's Ga

Each night, more than 1,000 Asian fishing boats set 30,000 miles of drift nets in the Pacific. These nets - each 30 feet deep and up to 30 miles long - are strip mining the Pacific of aquatic species from tuna to dolphin and sea-birds. New Zealand is leading a South Pacific effort in this year's GA to have drift-netting banned.
