Sustainability Of Tuna Stocks

EDM number 1706 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 18/06/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Fisheries.

That this House notes the importance of conservation of global tuna stocks; supports the decision by Pret a Manger to adjust its menu to help support the sustainability of the world's tuna stocks; welcomes its decision to discontinue the sale of yellowfin tuna altogether and the fact that it has been removed from their sushi boxes; notes that the company has never sold bluefin tuna and only sells skipjack tuna, which is a small, fast-breeding, non-migratory fish and not under threat of over-fishing; further notes that its skipjack tuna is caught by dolphin-friendly nets; further welcomes its decision that all its tuna will be caught by the pole and line method from August 2009; and calls on other sandwich and food companies to follow the example of Pret a Manger and play their part in ensuring the sustainability of tuna stocks.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
