Ban Bluefin Tuna sportfishing tournaments
We believe the Government must ban sportfishing of Bluefin Tuna as we feel it is unethical. It is reported these fish have only recently returned to British shores, and many are now being targeted by sportfishing.

Background
Some fishers are sportfishing and may harm these fish not for food but for their own entertainment. We urge the Government to ban this practice, or at a minimum, prevent sportfishing in shallow waters.
