The Tuna Boycott Which Led To The “Dolphin Safe” Tuna Label
During the late 1950's, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean (ETP), fishing fleets, using purse seine nets, began to catch tuna by spotting, herding and encircling dolphins on the surface. This was done because large yellowfin tuna follow and school beneath the dolphins, and are therefore easily caught using this method
An estimated 7 million dolphins have been killed by this fishing method over the past four decades, the largest marine mammal kill in history.
In 1986,the International Marine Mammal Project, one of the original projects sponsored by Earth Island Institute, organised a campaign, including a consumer boycott of tuna, in order to urge U.S. tuna companies to end the practice of intentionally chasing and netting dolphins with purse seine nets, and to adopt "Dolphin Safe" fishing practices to prevent the drowning of dolphins in tuna nets.
In 1988, biologist Samuel LaBudde signed aboard a Panamanian-flagged tuna fishing vessel in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Using a video camera, LaBudde recorded the horrifying images of hundreds of dolphins dying in tuna nets. The video shocked the world, and people around the world joined in the tuna boycott.
In 1990, the three largest tuna companies in the world - StarKist, Bumblebee, and Chicken of the Sea - agreed to stop purchasing, processing, and selling tuna caught by intentional chasing and netting of dolphins.
Dolphins are mammals tuna are fish. The only thing remotelybthevsame about them is they live in the ocean. Dumb banner choice this week.
Feels much better to post these when we win.
