Tell the EU to defend bluefin tuna

Atlantic bluefin tuna are making an extraordinary comeback after decades of overfishing. But instead of leaving these magnificent animals to recover in peace, governments are ramping up the number the fishing industry is allowed to hunt and kill.

They’ve already increased the quota substantially. Now there are fears governments could seek to reopen the agreement to push for even bigger catches.

On 16 November, the EU will host a major international meeting on tuna conservation. We need to make sure governments follow the science and put the recovery of bluefin tuna before the demands of the fishing industry.

Sign now to tell EU Fisheries Commissioner Costas Kadis to defend science-based rules to protect bluefin tuna and prioritise the continued recovery of this vital species.

Defend science-based protection of Atlantic bluefin tuna at ICCAT. Resist pressure to weaken safeguards or increase catches, and prioritise rebuilding bluefin populations to their former abundance.
