Tuna Extinct by 2048

People have been gobbling up sea life like there’s no tomorrow, and if it continues, several species will have no tomorrow, jeopardizing our ecosystem. Now Taiwan is the focus of a new Greenpeace campaign as they are the second-largest tuna-catching nation, and scientists fear that overfishing could lead to the extinction of tuna by 2048. Taiwan has been asked by Greenpeace and the Environment and Animal Society of Taiwan to reduce its tuna catch by 50 percent. Other species such as bluefin, bigeye, and yellowfin tuna has been overfished for years, and the fishing industry is already experiencing the consequences. The world’s top tuna-catching nation is Japan, and Greenpeace is expected to make a similar demand of Japan soon.
