Default Bluefin Article in Geographic

Dogs,

The current issue of National Geographic has a fairly good article about the corporate/factory fishing that threatens ocean fisheries, especially the giant bluefin tuna. It's not your normal source for fishing articles, but it does reach a lot of people who might not otherwise know or care about fish.

Default Re: Bluefin Article in Geographic

It's not only about the Bluefin. There is a lot of "stuff" about establishing Marine Protective Reserves, closed to all fishing. A lot of this data is from the PEW Foundation which has been discussed here in great detail.
