It's a long article (with pictures for those of us that tend to eat crayons 🤣) but good reading. Lots of information.  Bill

Tuna are so wide ranging that, from a regulatory perspective, they are similar to whales.  They swim through many jurisdictions as well as open ocean so they can only be managed through international commissions and agreements.  As with whaling, it is almost impossible to get half of world to agree on a management scheme for tuna at the same time.  Differences of opinion among nations and maneuvering to get their share of the pie results in ineffective or no management.  That is a big part of why tuna are going extinct before our eyes.  Everyone is part of the problem but nobody wants to be part of the solution.

Paleontologists are finding that Neandertal man started catching large tuna in the Straits of Gibraltar 42,000 years ago.  Let's now screw it up now.
