    From page> WWF found that not one of the tuna RFMOs is doing a good job in any area. Most are making slow progress and have room for improvement, but some are falling way short in important areas.

    Tuna - the stuff in your sandwiches along with dolphin - is getting too scarce. Are we about to kill off another species?

    Time to get serious for tuna nations

  • Rated by millerfamily on Jun 28, 4:35pm

    From the page: "All 23 identified, commercially exploited stocks of tuna are heavily fished, with at least nine classified as fully fished and a further four classified as overexploited or depleted. Three stocks are classified as Critically Endangered, three as Endangered, and three as Vulnerable to extinction. â€oeOur assessment shows a resource in trouble, fisheries in trouble and institutions in trouble,” said Miguel Jorge, Marine Director at WWF International. â€oeBut we believe there is still time to protect key ocean ecosystems where tuna is a top predator, and conserve the fisheries and the communities that depend on them.” â€oeWe now have too much experience to ignore on how fast over-exploited fisheries collapse and how slowly, if at all, they recover. With Bluefin tuna none of the collapsed populations are recovering and the remaining populations are clearly heading towards collapse.”"

    Overfishing of Tuna and the rape of the oceans is a huge issue, that is need of political backbone to be adequately addressed before population collapse prevents any conservation.
