The Triumphant Return of the Tuna?

Episode Summary

Is the return of the bluefin tuna to UK waters the result of sustainable fishery management practices, or is it a sign of worsening conditions underwater? The Aquademia Team discusses news from the UK that the bluefin tuna has made a return to their waters after disappearing in the '90s.

Episode Notes

The bluefin tuna resurgence in waters off the coast of the UK has people talking about fishery management. Now that this species that disappeared in the area 25 years ago has returned, should they lift the fishing ban?
