In the NYTimes Magazine: Tuna’s End

Media_httpgraphics8ny_fmgsf

"The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, one of only two known Atlantic bluefin spawning grounds, has only intensified the crisis. By some estimates, there may be only 9,000 of the most ecologically vital megabreeders left in the fish’s North American stock, enough for the entire population of New York to have a final bite (or two) of high-grade otoro sushi."

It makes me sad that my kids will probably not have many opportunities to eat good, quality tuna, and other wild fish stocks, because of the greed of Boomers and X'ers and other equally rapacious generations.
