Help save bluefin tuna by taking action now!
Have you got what it takes to be an Ocean Survivor?
Ocean Survivor Game
Fish hooks are just one of the obstacles you will have to avoid to
survive as a bluefin tuna in our Ocean Survivor game. After you make your
comment to NMFS, play the game and challenge your friends to be the top
scoring tuna!
Dear Libris Fidelis,
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.
Last year, the President signed a law to end the overfishing of U.S. fish
by 2011. There=92s 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 weeks, NMFS will present new annual catch limits and
environmental review rules. We need your voice to remind NMFS that it=92s
not just a good idea to set rules that will help fish like bluefin tuna
survive, it=92s the law.
Help bluefin survive by sending your personal comment to NMFS now.
Sincerely,
Lee Crockett
Director, Federal Fisheries Policy
