Hi guys,
2nd May is World Tuna Day. According to the United Nations (you can read more here), it's observed in order to highlight the importance of sustainably managed fish stocks in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It's also linked to the reversal of the decline in the health of the Ocean to ensure sustainable management of marine life. Tuna is a significant source of food all around the world, and is now threatened by overwhelming demand.
I've collected a few tuna-related facts below from the UN info page about World Tuna Day as well as elsewhere on the internet and thought you might find them interesting!

I've seen a line-caught tuna that it took about 10men to lift off the boat at the jetty... This was in the Med, and I think I was about 11 or so. The small flatbed truck they had to transport their catch was nearly fully-flattened, the weight of it!
Overfishing is never good. The rules and the livelihoods clash often.
