Book Reviews of Tuna: A Love Story

Book Review: A WWF and Oceana Propaganda Campaign
Summary: 1 Stars

Half of the book has some great information on biology,tuna ranching operations and early sportfishing methods and history.

The other half of the book reads like an Oceana/Pew Charitable Trusts/World Wildlife Fund propaganda campaign. Anti-seafood, anti-fisherman, anti-farmed seafood. Same old nonsense and scare tactics.

There's no denying that the Eastern Med tuna fishery needs to be closed down and better monitored. This book lumps all fishermen into that category.
