Claudia P.	One little step in the right direction July 18, 2009 5:42 PM Britain calls for ban on sale of endangered bluefin tuna Britain and France are to lobby governments for an international ban on the sale of bluefin tuna. Fisheries minister Huw Irranca- Davies confirmed Britain will back the fight to protect the delicacy. The Nobu chain recently attracted criticism from conservationists after continuing to serve bluefin at its London restaurants. France, which is said to have a bigger bluefin fishing fleet than anyone else, also announced it would support a ban of the fish at the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (Cities). Support for a ban is almost certain to put Britain on a collision course with Japan, where bluefish is a highly-prized ingredient for sushi and sashimi dishes. Concern over stocks of the popular fish has grown since the release of the documentary film The End of the Line, which portrayed bluefin tuna as the clearest example of modern over-fishing. Mr Irranca-Davies said: "I can confirm that the UK will support a Cities listing of bluefin tuna. I so hope that we can bring more awereness about the trouble the oceans are in.I've submitted 2 links for you to follow Follow this link to watch the trailer of The End of the Line http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bedirwk95Oc&feature=channel The trailer takes about 2 min.I recommend this film.If you have to go see it,please do and tell your friends and family.It should be shown at every school all over the world http://endoftheline.com/film Hugs Claudia For the Oceans [ send green star] [ accepted]
