Alice Waters And Dan Barber Take Bluefin Tuna Off Menus
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, January 20th, 2011 in Chefs, Environment-Eco-Green, Research + Science, Restaurants.
Renowned chefs Alice Waters and Dan Barber have vowed to take bluefin tuna, a critically endangered fish that’s high in mercury, off their menus as part of the Center For Biological Diversity‘s campaign to protect them.
The campaign was launched on November 30, 2010, after the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas refused to take action to protect the species. Both the Western and Eastern Atlantic varieties of bluefin have declined in numbers by 80% since 1970 and 74% between 1957 and 2007, respectively.
