S. Res. 346--A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that, at
the 21st Regular Meeting of the International Commission on the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, the United States should seek to
ensure management of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean
bluefin tuna fishery adheres to the scientific advice provided by
the Standing Committee on Research and Statistics and has a high
probability of achieving the established rebuilding target, pursue
strengthened protections for spawning bluefin populations in the
Mediterranean Sea to facilitate the recovery of the Atlantic
bluefin tuna, pursue imposition of more stringent measures to
ensure compliance by all Members with the International Commission
for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas' conservation and
management recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna and other
species, and ensure that United States' quotas of tuna and
swordfish are not reallocated to other nations, and for other
purposes.
