The Issue

Majestic bluefin tuna have returned to UK waters after many decades of absence. The reappearance of this amazing animal should be celebrated, but the UK Government has approved catching and killing them for sport and profit. 

David Attenborough called the Atlantic bluefin tuna the ultimate fish, but most people still perceive them as food or a recreational toy rather than wildlife.

I'm a volunteer at Blue Planet Society, and I want to help conserve our amazing marine wildlife. I'm determined to help save bluefin tuna.

I'm urging the UK Government to make UK waters a safe place for bluefin tuna and to be a world leader in protecting these magnificent fish — as you would if this were an iconic land animal.  

Please sign this petition calling for the bluefin tuna to be given protected status in the UK.
