Oil and gas exploration in Namibia’s southern waters has slashed the nation’s tuna catch, according to a study commissioned by the government.
The harvest dropped to 650 metric tons so far this year from 1,800 tons in 2012 and 4,046 tons in 2011, Anna Erastus, policy planning director at the fisheries and marine resources ministry, said in the study.
