		BirdLife says these organizations are doing "little or nothing to reduce the bycatch of seabirds, sharks and turtles in their fisheries, while at the same time many of their fish stocks have declined by more than 90 percent."
		Conclusions drawn in the BirdLife study were based on 114 criteria drawn in part from principles established in the FAO's 1995 Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, which is on the Committee's agenda for evaluation on its 10th anniversary.
		The BirdLife review observes that populations of albatrosses, dolphins, sharks and turtles have plummeted, partly because many of the 19 Regional Fisheries Management Organizations governing the world’s seas are ignoring international laws requiring action to safeguard marine wildlife and tackle pirate fishing.
