A BIG STEP FOR THE BLUEFIN TUNA
By TIF in ENVIRONMENTAL, NEWS | 1 comment
The European Commission is proposing a ban on commercial bluefin tuna fishing to save the fish from possible extinction, but several countries, one being Japan, strongly oppose the move. France is in favor of the ban but for a limited time only. Bluefin tuna stocks have dropped 80 per cent in the last few decades.

The state of Bluefin Tuna (particularly giant Bluefin)is nearly as sad as that of the Polar Bear. As much as we love sushi, we’ve got to put an end to their harvest. We’re long past sustainable harvest.
