Tuna Done Right.

May 2nd



FORUM: "Tuna Done Right" World Tuna Day 2026. The MSC's theme for World Tuna Day is Tuna Done Right. Even though World Tuna Day is a global day to protect tuna, there's plenty that can be done locally to support sustainable tuna. Tuna is one of the most widely consumed seafoods in Australia and New Zealand. Choosing sustainably sourced options like those with the MSC blue fish tick is a simple way to support healthy oceans. In Australia and New Zealand, we can enjoy a range of MSC certified sustainable tuna from Skipjack, Albacore and Yellowfin. Over half of the world's skipjack tuna is caught in the Western Central Pacific Ocean and tuna is also caught in Australian and New Zealand waters. We need to conserve our wonderful tuna resources for future generations. Get involved in the conversation with #WorldTunaDay and #BigBlueFuture for the chance to have your post shared to our networks.
