Sustainability

Due to the expected global population increase and climate change…

World per capita consumption of fish will rise and, as a consequence, there will be a higher pressure for its exploitation.

We will have to produce more food in the next 50 years than the amount needed in the last 500.

It is estimated that there are 5,000,000,000,000 plastic parts in the oceans.

In 2050 there may well be more plastic than fish in the oceans.

The demand for healthy and natural products will increase.

World per capita consumption of fish will increase (x4) and it will be difficult to meet the demand given that most natural marine resources are at their maximum sustainable yield.

Raw materials will become more expensive and food will be a strategic resource like energy.

Countries and private companies will face more policies for purchasing fertile land as well as for fishing rights and access to natural resources in order to guarantee the supply of food and fish.

Tuna is a natural and healthy source of protein; it is a staple in human nutrition and should be protected for future generations. Because of all this and much more, it is fundamental to start a movement that promotes good practices regarding this scarce resource.

Bermeo Tuna World Capital globally promotes sustainable management of tuna as a natural resource using scientific knowledge and good practices leadership.
