wanting better safeguards for local marine life by updating fishing quotas and restricting harmful catch methods are facing resistance from the European Union, conservation groups say.

"We urge the EU to abandon its past colonial stance on allocation of quotas," said Bloom's scientific director, Frédéric Le Manach."The EU cannot let history repeat itself."have called for a halt to the large-scale depletion of stocks and damage to marine species caused by industrial methods which catch vast numbers of tuna.
