WASHINGTON
Sorry bluefin, you lose another battle for your lives. The proposal by Monaco and the U.S. for banning bluefin tuna fishing. In the last 50 years the population worldwide for bluefin has declined 70%, but the scary fact is that 60% of that came from this last decade.
Unfortunately, this ban was rejected at a United Nations conference in Doha, so fishing for this diminishing species will continue for another year. Sushi restaurants and fish markets can do their part by not selling bluefin tuna, but as I work at multiple sushi restaurants, bluefin tuna is very popular among customers and businesses will continue to sell it.
