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.
