The Tuna Story Nobody Is Really Talking About

from How To Protect The Ocean · host Andrew Lewin - Marine Biologist & Science Communicator

What if one of the most popular seafoods in the world isn't the disaster story you've been told? Tuna has been at the center of overfishing conversations for decades. But something changed, and most people have no idea. In this episode, we unpack the hidden system behind tuna fishing, how it nearly failed, and what turned it around. This isn't about saying everything is fine. It's about understanding what actually worked, why it worked, and what it means for the future of ocean conservation. Because if tuna can improve, it raises a bigger question: Why isn't every fishery doing the same? 👉 Follow How to Protect the Ocean for your weekday ocean science updates.
