Bluefin Boycott

One year ago, the Center for Biological Diversity launched its Bluefin Boycott in an effort to prevent the extinction of bluefin tuna.

And even though 25,000 people have signed a pledge not to eat the fish, the Atlantic bluefin is still endangered.

Bluefin tuna are among the ocean's most remarkable creatures.  These massive, warm-blooded fish are renowned for their strength and speed.  But overfishing has driven the species to the brink of extinction.

Despite this, sushi restaurants continue to serve bluefin.

You can help raise awareness of the plight of this endangered fish, and help to curtail consumer demand, by pledging not to eat bluefin and by not eating at restaurants that choose to sell it.
