Mediterranean tuna population faces extinction

Just before the beginning of the catch season the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) asked the European Union to half the fishing quota for mediterranian bluefin tuna. The quota is more than double the amount that is advised by marine biologists. Moreover each year these quota are exceeded and besides there is a lot of illegal fishery. The WWF sais that if the advised quota are not acted upon now, there is a big chance the bluefin tuna may definitely disappear from the mediteranean sea.
