United States and Japan back plan for drift net ban
Washington reports a tentative worldwide ban on large scale drift nets with a U.N. resolution to be considered. The plan sets a moratorium by 1992 with caveats for conservation measures, and aligns with a South Pacific ban effective July 1, 1994. Greenpeace criticizes the compromise as insufficient for protecting dolphins and seabirds.
