Pacific BlueFin Tuna - Real Data -

This is directly from the NOAA website:

"Other management organizations, like the Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) are also considering additional conservation and management measures. U.S. fisheries generally harvest a small fraction of the total Pacific-wide bluefin harvest, and represent only two percent of the average annual landings from all fleets fishing in the Eastern Pacific Ocean."

Click on the comment button - There is a lot of bad info out there and reports that the Pacific BlueFin is in danger - A lot of info is getting mixed with the Atlantic Bluefin as well, which is a separate and completely different problem. Just tell them why you want to be able to fish for the Pacific Bluefin in US waters. Don't let the small group of extremist stop us from sport-fishing on the west coast.
