Plans to track tuna canned amid claims of cash shortfall
Article Abstract:
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) in New Orleans postponed the research programme to investigate populations of Atlantic bluefin tuna. The research aimed to develop a better understanding of the bluefin's life cycle, and to determine if really there are two separate stocks, one in the east spawning in the Mediterranean and one in the West Atlantic spawning in the Gulf of Mexico.

A wing and a prayer
Article Abstract:
The ivory-billed woodpecker, a huge bird supposed to have died years ago, was the goal of a group of scientists to study. For some the group's mission is a chance to bring back the bird from the verge of extinction whereas to others it means to save a species that might no longer grace the woods.
