It looks like the USA and much of Europe is putting pressure on for the CITES listing of bluefin tuna as endangered, which will curtail almost all trade of the species.

By choosing bluefin as a meal choice, we may be fueling the problem unless there is a method for knowing the source. American and Canadian fishermen harvest bluefin ethically, but not all nations do.

In fact we must act to save those species. Bluefin tuna species are getting less already because of illegal fishing and poaching from fishermen. In fact we must act to save those species.

Europe was certainly at the forefront of the sustainability movement and its good to see it begin to happen in the U.S. I am all for harvesting wild seafood but when countries are exceeding levels that species can handle the consumer should be aware and hopefully pass up the product. While American commercial fishing boats get a tiny allotment of the fish, illegal overfishing of bluefin outside the USA has been well documented. This action is long overdue.
