The population of Pacific bluefin tuna has climbed 1,000% from 2014 to 2022, marking a significant success story in international cooperation and sustainable fishing.
In 2014, the Pacific bluefin tuna population was at a perilous low, with estimates showing their numbers at only 2-5% of healthy levels without fishing, prompting urgent international action.
This recent upgrade of the bluefin status from red to yellow by Seafood Watch is not only historic but reflects a decisive turnaround in sustainable seafood management.
Corbett Nash from Seafood Watch expressed optimism about collaboration in solving the bluefin tuna crisis, highlighting it as a shining example of international fisheries management success.
