You have to learn more about your subject!!! there is a lot of mistakes in your video.

@temanaguerrier Thank you for this comment. We certainly do not agree. Before making this video we did an very detailed research. Further reading: The bluefin bonanza by Wietse Van der Werf (you can download a free pdf on our website). Read, study and get involved instead of telling crap. Peace!

You (or somebody else) could use the European citizens' initiative to gather signatures and bring this up with the European Commission. I have no expertise in setting up a petition like that (especially since it has to span so many countries) but I'd gladly sign it if one was brought to my attention.

[HOWTOSAVETHEBLUEFIN]

@ToiletseatPhilosophy Interesting idea. But we need to see if we can handle such a big campaign, and we don't have much time left. But thanks for letting us know!

i take issue only with one of the final statements, i.e. 'chances are the last bluefin tuna will die in 2012'. if taken at face value, it is already far too late. on what basis was this statement made ??

[HOWTOSAVETHEBLUEFIN]

@thesheaproject Check 'The Bluefin Bonanza', by Wietse van der Werf. We give you a link at his document on our website, under section 'The Bluefin Tuna'.

Also just search 'bluefin 2012' in Google and you get some websites that gives you references to conlusions of some scientists.

I've come to the conclusion that living sustainably as an individual will not be enough to save the planet. We have to address all the crap left by those before us.

I've learned that changing the mind of an adult is a lost cause, unless they are willing to be educated and accept change.

Educating children is the best was to effect change and they are the beneficiaries of the world we are creating.

I just recently learned about this in oceanography and it just makes you wonder what else is this human race bringing to an end.

[temanaguerrier]

@temanaguerrier"crap"!!!

I think that my experience is not crap!!!

Reading or learning is not as good for me than experience!

Do you know that we fish blue fin tuna in Iceland?And that tuna as moved far north?

Please don't tell me crap !

[savethefrigginplanet]

 We need a world moratorium on Blue fin tuna. It must be illegal to catch any

Blue fin Tuna & it must be enforced!

It is so stupidly short-sighted for people to overfish it to death. What will they eat When it's all gone? Much worse though is the damage it will do to the entire eco-system. Everyone should boycott Mitsubishi, evil, greedy bastards!

[Scythemantis]

It's a shame how stubborn people are. If cows were disappearing, most Americans would laugh in your face at the mere suggestion that they cut back on burgers. People never even accept that environmental problems are real until it's too late.

@Lenzabi Thank you so much!

This is horrible. This planet was designed to provide food for us all - but not to satisty the greed of corporate food industries...
