About World Tuna Day:
World Tuna Day has been celebrated since 2011 when the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) declared May 2nd a holiday to honor the importance of tuna. In 2016 the United Nations General Assembly elevated the occasion by designating a resolution, making World Tuna Day a global holiday to honor and “highlight the importance of sustainably managed fish stocks in achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.”
We love tuna. It is a part of us and our culture. It is a migratory species that’s not only a great source of protein but also joins us together.
Tuna has been an important food source during this pandemic, both fresh and canned. By contributing to this competition, you can help sustain global marine ecology and tuna stocks. World Tuna Day is a great opportunity to explore steps that can make a lasting impact in supporting sustainable, legal fishing industry practices. We look forward to your submission!
