Help the Bluefin Tuna!
Hello, this is IGL and this post is
about the Bluefin Tuna. The Bluefin Tuna is a type of oceanic fish that is
endangered since the past few decades. The three species of Bluefin Tuna are
Atlantic, Pacific and South. The Atlantic is
the most endangered type of Bluefin Tuna. They swim really fast and dive thousands
of feet down. They make the ocean unique. However, because of us, they are
declining.
In Japanese restaurants, the Bluefin
Tuna is a popular food for sushi and sashimi. They are eminent for their indescribable
taste in seafood. But they’re just
seafood. But an important factor is that they are an important predator for
fish in the ocean. They balance the system of the fish food chain. Without
them, the food chain would be corrupted.
Because people love the Bluefin Tuna
so much, fishermen overfish and pirate fish (illegal fishing) the Bluefin Tuna.
Because of the overfishing, the Tuna have become endangered. All three species
of Bluefin Tuna are declining. Everyday, the population for the Bluefin Tuna
decreases. Eventually, the population will be down to 0.
But there are ways to help them. You
could:
- Donate. The Ocean Foundation started a
fund called the Tag-a-Giant Fund. It’s about helping the Bluefin Tuna.
- Start a petition. Get people to sign
it.
- Spread the word. Tell people about the
Bluefin Tuna crisis.
- Stop eating so much Bluefin Tuna. You
might not know it, but in Japanese restaurants, they serve many dishes
with Bluefin Tuna. Also, don’t buy their meat at the markets all the time.
- If you fish the Bluefin Tuna, don’t! They
need your help, and you could make a difference.
Help the Bluefin
Tuna! They deserve to live on this planet!
