To: HMS/NMFS/NOAA, Commercial & Sport Fisherman: Thanks & We Can Do This!
I attended the public hearing on Highly Migratory Species (Bluefin tuna are categorized as such) in Plymouth Massachusetts last night organized by the officers of the HMS Division which is part of our government's agency NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Services). So this is the Fed of fishing. I have to say, I was impressed by the professionalism and organization/presentation by HMS officers. It's always in the details and they are doing small things like giving copies of their deck out for revi… Continue

Greenpeace Plays Prank at DeNiro's Restaurant that Serves Bluefin Tuna
According to Peter Kobel writing in a Care2.com article:
"Greenpeace recently staged a clever prank at Nobu in Manhattan to protest the chic restaurant chain’s serving bluefin tuna. Activists made reservations and attempted to substitute faux menus that offered such endangered-species delicacies as “Rack of Mountain Gorilla Seasoned with Powdered Rhino Horn.” When their subterfuge was discovered and they were asked to leave, they did so quietly, even tipping the wait staff."

John, this is great. Catch and release is the way forward!
May I suggest that you hook up with UNH's tag-a-tiny program? Fish are released AND participation provides important information for fish stocks and management.
It is easy and free to si...
This is a great post John. I planned on attending but was on a flight.
I must disagree with your point-of-view on discard of dead bft. If regulations allow longliners to retain bi-catch, it provides an incentive to target bft. And after a couple ...
Another great post. Can't agree more on the yellowfin assault currently underway in the vast Pacific that is unregulated. Once we get the bluefin situation under control the yellowfin will be next.
Rajith - you're right in that the line caught al...
Good post. I did not know that bluefin might skip a spawning year if energy levels are low. Also I wonder if lesser numbers makes it harder for them to hunt. The point being that large schools of tuna can work together to organize large amounts of...
Thanks. you have to work out for yourself how many fish 100 tonnes represent or 150 tonnes as depicted. It's about how they are caught. Sainsbury's a UK chain sells pole and line caught marine stewardship certified albacore - you can't buy tuna mo...
100 tonnes with 10,000 fish in one shot. wow. that's just shocking. stick to eating the 'light chunk' tuna which is skipjack. it is better for the sea and your health avoid Yellowfin and Albacore completely.
The most successful wildlife documentary of all time was the Blue Planet produced by the BBC perhaps around 2004. It has the most amazing images of yellowfin tuna feeding on bait balls. Watching such documentaries, you could be forgiven for asking...
US Fleet Will Be Chaffing for Higher Quotas
If we had good fisheries management, it would be as simple as arguing for reduced catch among the rec's and com's. But instead we have ICCAT- often called the International Conspiracy to Kill all Tuna. ...
Good post. I will be at the NJ meeting and will voice concern over the specific issues and the approach - which is flawed. Recreation and commercial anglers should not be in a virtual tug-o-war with the last remaining bluefin to see who gets to ha...
