The Truth About Tuna
The industrial tuna fishing industry is full of secrets covering animal entanglements, environmental damage, and human rights abuses - but - there is another way. Traditional, low-impact methods of tuna fishing which catch fish using one hook, one line, one fish at a time are a sustainable alternative and are available to you.
It shouldn't be up to us to seek out sustainable options - these should be the only options!
Now it's up to us as consumers to demand low-impact tuna.
