<p>Marine and fisheries management issues are devolved matters for UK Overseas Territories
(UKOT), who are responsible for managing fishing licensing issues, including vessel
allocations. In terms of international quota allocations, however, St Helena (including
Ascension and Tristan da Cunha), Bermuda, BVI and Turks and Caicos are part of the
UKOT membership to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas
(ICCAT). Within ICCAT, the UKOTs have been allocated quota for bigeye tuna (2,100t),
albacore (100t), swordfish (25t), which is divided between these territories, based
on historical interests.</p>
