Assembly backs Navy use to curb tuna boat seizures
A California Assembly resolution urging U S Navy action to stop future seizures of American tuna vessels by Ecuador and Peru passed unanimously and moves to the Senate. It cites 100-plus seized vessels since 1961, $750000 in fines, and 17 ships seized last month, while noting Ecuador and Peru push 200 mile claims against 12 mile norms. The measure calls for hearings on current laws and possible new legislation. Also noted is the U S military mission in Ecuador being ordered out, signaling heightened tensions in the fishing rights dispute.
