Though the Bluefin is a special fish, its problems are just one instructive example of how management can go off the tracks if the scientific part of the process is corruptible by short-term economics and political lobbying. We call for a five-year moratorium on possession of Bluefin tuna throughout the western Altantic and the closure of Gulf of Mexico spawning areas to all gear capable of catching Bluefin tuna during Bluefin spawning season.
