The SCMP reported that the Yacht Club, the Marco Polo Hotel and Pret a Manger (??) are banning the sale of Bluefin Tuna in their outlets. This is a good step. More is needed.
Living Seas Hong Kong is distressed about the critical situation that this beautiful animal finds itself. Hong Konger's are guiilty, guilt , guilty of ignoring the facts and only worrying about their stomachs...
Have a look at a previous article from Living Seas Wild about bluefin
Also here is an interesting little gem that I found on GeoExpat.com " Just heard they're going to extinct in two and a half years time, so I'll be damned if I don't find some good restaurants that serve this oh-so-tasty delicacy that I can visit regularly before it disappears.
Scary....
So the motto is, don't eat bluefin tuna, not until sustainable methods for capture or aquaculture is found.
