Tim Fitzgerald, EDF Senior Oceans Policy Specialist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday,\u00a0Tim Fitzgerald, EDF’s Senior Oceans\u00a0Policy Specialist and Marine Scientist who leads our sustainable seafood work, appeared on the Kojo Namdi\u00a0Show<\/a><\/strong> with Casson Trenor<\/strong><\/a> to discuss sustainable sushi and ask the question to listeners, “how well do you know your sushi?”<\/p>\n

With the recent defeat of a proposed ban by the U.N. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>on the export of\u00a0the overfished Atlantic bluefin tuna, how to make responsible choices<\/strong><\/a> at the sushi bar is a timely discussion. Japan imports approximately 80 percent of the world’s bluefin tuna to satisfy the country’s love of this prized fish for sushi, which can sell for more than\u00a0$150,000 per fish,\u00a0so their ardent opposition to the ban was no surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aside from bluefin tuna, other species of fish used for sushi are also unsustainably sourced. Tim and Casson went on to discuss with Kojo and the audience that while it’s helpful for restaurant owners and consumers to be knowledgeable about the best fish to select<\/strong><\/a>, real success in restoring overfished species will occur from industry change and effective fisheries management. Listen to the show<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
