Save the Tuna

Save the Tuna

Prized as a high-value dish at sushi restaurants, bluefin are being push toward extinction by decades of overfishing.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists two species of bluefin, the Atlantic and the southern,
as endangered or critically endangered, on its “Red List” of imperiled species.

The Pacific bluefin tuna is not yet listed, but overfishing is now occurring, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Sadly, bluefin remains on the menu in some restaurants.
