Tuna for Tomorrow? Not if FAD Fishing Continues
Tuna for Tomorrow? Not if FAD Fishing Continues
The "U.S." (Thailand and Korea) canned tuna industry mouthpiece Tuna for Tomorrow can't stand that Greenpeace has called the industry's harmful fishing practices to the carpet. Instead, they continue to defend the use of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) as economical and safe, even when study after study shows that this isn't true.
Tuna for Tomorrow claims that "If Greenpeace has its way, not only would canned tuna disappear from grocers' shelves, the paltry supply that gets to market would cost a lot more," and "...radical activists, like Greenpeace, are campaigning to save tuna that don't need saving." What they so carefully leave out is that groups, like Greenpeace, aren't campaigning to save the tuna, but rather to save the entire ecosystem.
