Following the lead of North Korea the pieces from Greenpeace kept a low profile - a few pamphleteers - last night and the ICCAT delegates enjoyed an undisturbed dinner. Now it seems someone with access to the meeting room pulled a prank of their own. Apparently he - or she - saturated the chair cushion of a Greenpeace delegate with what appeared to be water. Upon taking a seat this morning the surprised delegate leapt from his seat shouting "merde" and wiping his rather wet pants.
Yesterday's negotiations over bluefin tuna ended with Libya leading a coalition of the souther Mediterranean nations in what is forming into an attempt to pry allocation away from the major EU players. Bluefin comes back up in a few hours. I trust our friends back in the States are enjoying a pleasant Thanksgiving.
