WWF - Bluefin tuna sanctuary needed to save fish species in western Mediterranean
Along with other international and Spanish conservation organizations working to save the marine environment — Ecologistas en Acción, GEN-GOB and Greenpeace — WWF is calling on the fisheries administrations of the European Union, the Balearic islands and Spain to set up a protected area in the archipelago to protect the species from severe overfishing.
The proposal for this sanctuary is based on scientific research by Spanish marine biologists, whose findings show the outstanding importance of the area for the breeding of the species.
The Balearic islands were traditionally the most important breeding ground for bluefin tuna in the world, but massive overfishing in the last ten years, especially by French and Spanish fleets, has seen stock levels plummet to a dangerous all-time low.
“Industrial tuna fleets may have exploited Mediterranean bluefin to the point of no return in Balearic waters, and the breeding tuna have nowhere left to hide, ” said Dr Sergi Tudela, Head of Fisheries at WWF's Mediterranean office based in Rome.
Where else can the tuna go?” WWF is calling for legal measures to support the establishment of this bluefin sanctuary, as well as much stricter control of tuna fishing activities across the Mediterranean.

Rainbow Trout These fish were introduced in the 1880s and have become both the angler’s favorite and the mainstay of Colorado’s hatchery system (millions of catchable and subcatchable sized fish are stocked annually).
Cutthroat (Native) Trout Several subspecies of cutthroat trout are found in Colorado, of which three are native – the greenback, the Rio Grande and the Colorado.
The range of these fish has decreased due to a variety of habitat factors, and extensive recovery efforts are underway by the Division of Wildlife.
These fish can be difficult to catch, but many anglers have good success during their fall spawning runs.
A large dark spotting pattern and reddish dots can help anglers distinguish these fish from rainbows and cutthroats.
This prolific fish often becomes overpopulated and can out-compete other trout.
As the name suggests, these fish are found in mountain lakes and are usually in deeper water.
Anglers also enjoy success with this species during the fall and spring in shallower areas and when ice-fishing.
These silver fish with black spots on the upper half of their bodies can be found swimming in compact schools feeding on zooplankton, a food source unaffected by the drawing down of reservoirs.
