SPAINS fishing fleets dont just operate in the Mediterranean as there are a number of vessels all over the world, including Seychelles, where they search for big catches of tuna.

One company uses West African crew but at the latest change over, 97 out of 207 new crew were tested positive for Covid-19 and their vessels were impounded and used to quarantine the active cases.

This has resulted in lower catches and increased medical, travel and transport costs according to a company spokesperson.

Married to Ophelia in Gibraltar in 1978, John has spent much of his life travelling on security print and minting business and visited every continent except Antarctica.

Having retired several years ago, the couple moved to their house in Estepona and John became a regular news writer for the EWN Media Group taking particular interest in Finance, Gibraltar and Costa del Sol Social Scene.
