Tuna - you've probably got a tin or two in your cupboard. Cheap, convenient and versatile. It is also very big business. The tinned tuna trade is worth around US$ 2.7 billion a year.

And in the UK, we love it: we are the second biggest customer for canned tuna in the world after the USA.

Colman's fish restaurant owner and key Seafood See supporter Richard Ode

Colman's in South Shields has been described as "the nearest thing to an eco-chippy you're likely to find", a fish and chip restaurant which only serves wild fish from sustainable grounds, uses additive-free vegetable oil and sends its waste fat to be made into bio-fuel. Noted for its welcoming atmosphere, Colman's has featured regularly for the past few years in the Times' Top 10 UK Fish and Chip Shops, and was voted Best UK Takeaway at the BBC Food and Farming Awards 2007.

Raymond Blanc, Chef Patron of the Michelin starred Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons in Oxfordshire

Acknowledged as one of the finest chefs in the world, Raymond Blanc's commitment to sustainably sourced seafood led him to sign up as a supporter of Seafood See Life right from day one, and to be a guest speaker when the the campaign launched with an event at Old Billingsgate fishmarket earlier this year.

Why is sustainability so important to him? "Protecting the diversity of fish in our seas is as important as looking after wildlife on land. Those of us who are passionate about cooking and serving seafood will be equally passionate about using only sustainable species, as the fish we cook and eat now will determine what we have in the future."

Tide turns for Pacific tuna

Is the tide turning for Pacific tuna?

Hurrah! At last some good news for threatened Pacific tuna. Eight Pacific Island nations have signed an agreement to stop foreign fishing fleets taking their tuna. Our ship the Esperanza has been in the Pacific for the last seven weeks confronting unscrupulous foreign fleets that take 90 per cent of the fish, and even more of the profit.
