🐠Happy World Tuna Day🐠
World Tuna Day is observed on 2 May every year to raise the awareness about tuna fish globally and to promote more sustainable fishing practices. More than seven million tonnes of tuna and tuna-like species are harvested yearly across the globe. These migratory tuna species account for 20 per cent of the value of all marine captured fisheries and over eight per cent of all globally traded seafood. It is integrated into the global seafood market with an annual value of more than $42 billion. This is making tuna vulnerable to overexploitation and raising concerns about its sustainable harvest. The conservation of tuna also helps in improving the marine ecosystem, which is the largest ecosystem on the planet. It is under stress due to poor and unsustainable management practices across the globe. 🐠🌏🐠
