Bluefin tuna are having a hard time surviving. Once abundant and thriving, the bluefin tuna population declined by 99 percent between 1963 and 2007, bringing this overfished species to the brink of extinction.
You can help bluefin survive by taking action today at http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/blue_fin.
Last year, the president signed a law to end the overfishing of U.S. fish by 2011. There's just one catch: overexploited species like bluefin tuna only have a chance to survive if the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) creates rules that follow the letter of the law and are strong enough to meet its goals. In the next few months, NMFS will present new annual catch limits and environmental review rules. We need your voice to remind NMFS that it's not just a good idea to set rules that will help fish like bluefin tuna survive, it's the law.
Help bluefin survive by sending your personal comment to NMFS now, at http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/blue_fin.
