There has been a statement from Mr Sylvester Pokajam Director of the National Fisheries Authority.
He says that the area of the Bismarck Sea where the first commercial deep sea mining will occur is a highly productive fishing ground.
He posed questions on the impact of undersea mining on the marine life, especially tuna.
Mr Pokajam said PNG should have waited until all the sea laws and policies were in place. He said we should not tamper with the natural habitat.
He said that in addition to tuna, the Economic Exclusion Zone is one of the most productive in the world.
There have been other reports on the deep sea mining and tuna. Please click:

But these have to be seen in the context of the pollution of the Ramu and Sepik Rivers and the pollution from deep sea waste disposal by Ramu NiCo.
The story of the fish starts in the fish nurseries of these rivers.
