Want to know if your tuna is a sustainable choice? Keep these three things in mind: 1. MSC Certification: Check if the tuna is MSC-certified. This label guarantees that the fish is caught in an environmentally responsible way, with proper quota agreements to prevent overfishing. 2. Fishing Method: Pole-and-line fishing is the most sustainable way to catch tuna. Fish are caught one by one, minimizing bycatch of other species. Other methods, like longline and purse seine, can have a bigger impact, especially if no bycatch prevention measures are in place. 3. Origin and Species: Check where the fish comes from and what species it is. This helps you better understand how sustainable your choice really is.
