Pacific Big Eye and Yellowfin tuna are overfished by non-Pacific fishers and are now seriously threatened.
Each year in the Pacific
Foreign countries catch over 90% of tuna in the Pacific.
This has a value of US $3 billion a year.
Only $0.15 billion of this stays in Pacific mostly through processing.
High tech large ships can catch as much fish in two days as a small Pacific nation can in a year.
What can we do?
Metiria and Keith are currently running a campaign to pressure the New Zealand Government to actively support and enable Pacific Island Nations. A copy of the petition can be downloaded from: www.greens.org.nz/conservation/tunapetition
