"This is one of the biggest moments in sustainable seafood history," says Matt Beaudin, executive chef at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, highlighting the unprecedented recovery of Pacific bluefin tuna.
In 2014, Pacific bluefin tuna were at their lowest levels ever, with numbers reported to be at 2-5% of their potential population without fishing and 90% of fish caught before reproductive age.
Corbett Nash states, "I'm very optimistic about what we can do when we work together to solve a problem that we mutually share," indicating the importance of international collaboration in conservation.
The upgrade in Seafood Watch's rating from red to yellow for bluefin tuna signifies a shift towards sustainability, reflecting efforts to recover fish populations that seemed impossible a decade ago.
