Eye witness: 800 endangered bluefin tuna freed

This is an eyewitness account from an action by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which set out onto the Mediterranean Sea last month in search of bluefin tuna poachers. During a patrol inside Libyan waters, an illegal catch of bluefin tuna was released back into the wild. Read the article on Indymedia.

The Bluefin Bonanza

In the last 50 years industrial fishing in the Mediterranean Sea, in particular trawling and purse seine fishing, has decimated the populations of marine wildlife. This booklet is a starting point for people interested in the Mediterranean, what industrial fishing is doing to the region and in particular with regard to the bluefin tuna. 44 pages, colour, self-published.
