White Tuna's Migratory route and Moroccan Disputes with Spain

In the winter White Tuna go by the Canary Islands off of Africa and they spawn in the Spring and in the summer they move to the seas in Iceland.


Moroccan and Spain have been having disputes with eachother for a lot of years.  The fighting became more serious in the 1970's.  It became more serious because countries started claiming Exclusive Economic Zones or EEZs.  In 1988, Morocco signed an agreement which limited them to only catch 95,000 tons annually in Moroccan waters.  On the other end of the deal Morocco is recieving licenses and fees and other financial assistance in a package worth 70 million a year.
