Panama is first Central American country to prohibit purse seining within its waters

The Billfish Foundation and OCEARCH applaud Panama for becoming the first of the seven nations of Central America to prohibit purse seining in its waters.  This action follows Panama's signing on to an agreement  that urges all of the nations to create appropriate sustainable management plans for billfish and other popular game fish vital to growing sportfishing and tourism in the region.
