From Center for Biological Diversity
Overfishing is pushing Atlantic bluefin tuna to the brink of extinction. These magnificent animals are famous for their racecar-like speeds, but their population has been reduced by more than 80 percent since industrial fishing began.
The government ignored the danger to bluefin tuna and gave industry its way when it denied Endangered Species Act protection to the fish in June 2011. International efforts aren’t helping either. And in November 2011 the international body that is supposed to watch out for the bluefin failed to ban tuna farms or reduce catch quotas.
So right now the best way to stop overfishing is to vote with your plate.
Bluefin tuna remains a prized menu item in some restaurants. Send the message that serving bluefin tuna is unacceptable by signing our pledge; then share this with your friends and local restaurants.
I pledge to reduce the demand for bluefin tuna by:
- not eating bluefin.
- boycotting any restaurant that serves it.
