Out of interest what do you folks reckon to the petition to protect them in UK waters that I found linked to that picture on FB?

It’s hard when people will pay the money they do for them, some of those programs on tuna fishing are a bit manic mind you it’s easy to see why they are f***ing off across the Atlantic for a bit of P and Q,

I'm not familiar enough with the conservation of Tuna to have an opinion. The petition seemed a bit 'typical anti' stuff but if there's some sense to it then I'd be in support.

It's maybe premature to allow commercial fishing for them but sport fishing, catch and release if viable, surely can't be lumped in with the commercial industry. Spearfishing too maybe. 

I honestly don't know, just interested to hear what folks think.

I do think there is a need to preserve things and they are hunted hard over sees have a little look for a program called wicked tuna they are being chased everywhere by everybody even have helicopters spotting them then chased down and speared by boat as well as rod and line but they have to get past the trawlers and long liners first have said it before the best way to make an animal extinct is to make it a delicacy and when your paying tens of 1000 for one fish the writing is on the wall, trouble is we struggle to make compromises and just go from one extreme to another as in the case of badgers, one minute anything goes next your up the jail for looking at a hole in the ground then back up to epidemic proportions so we can start shooting them to control numbers, if we could just sit down and work out what’s best for everyone including the fish everyone would be happy, but we won’t

The tuna stocks shown are sustainable though .There is a limit on total weight and a lower limit of 72 inches  put back scheme .Watch the program before judging anyone would be good advice .

You're not aloud to Target Bluefin Tuna. You're not aloud to land Bluefin Tuna you're not aloud to sell or give away Bluefin Tuna. If caught by accident you must return it alive and unharmed. Still considered an endangered species.

Tuna are hard hunted BUT the quota is worked out and changed daily and it works. (America) 

In UK waters EU boats can catch and kill tuna in a rubbish, inflexible, poorly thought out quota system that also says UK charter boats cant target them in a catch and release way. That's wrong

There is no quota for Bluefin Tuna in the UK. You can't land them. The charter boat are not aloud to target them. The law is there they are ignoring the law saying they are fishing for Shark, saying it's a accident then releasing them.

Commercial EU boats with quota can target and kill tuna in UK waters! No British boats have any tuna quota. 

Charter boats can't target tuna to catch and release. Irish boats can. 

If some people are targeting them and releasing then so what? The fact they aren't allowed to is crazy. Protect all tuna in UK waters but allow a catch and release industry to target them. Especially when at the minute EU boats are killing the same fish....thats mental
