Say goodbye to Blue Fin Tuna...

Today is possibly our last chance at saving the majestic Blue Fin Tuna from extinction!

International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) begins tomorrow and is literally Tuna's last chance. The AVAAZ organisation released this urgent press release today:

Bluefin tuna will be wiped out unless drastic action is taken to stop overfishing at the world summit going on right now. Without these magnificent fish, oceanic ecosystems could collapse.

This little known summit is the last chance for Tuna, and elite and even criminal cartels with powerful political allies are lobbying hard to block a vital recovery plan, putting short-term profits before the future of our oceans and fishing economies.

If we can show governments that the world's eyes are on them, the cartels could be exposed and an urgent survival plan could be forced through. Sign the petition to save this ecologically crucial fish and forward this email -- it will be delivered to the negotiators and the media at the summit:

I love my Tuna, its actually my favorite meal. However, I don't want to see the most magnificent fish in the ocean become extinct, because I love to eat it! I signed the petition, you should too.
