World Tuna Day HistoryWorld Tuna aims to raise awareness about the vital role of tuna and all tuna-like species in the maintenance of marine ecosystems. It is also an opportunity to highlight the importance of sustainable fishing practices to ensure the long-term conservation of these valuable species. This observance recognizes the economic, nutritional, and cultural significance of tuna, reinforcing the need for effective global management to prevent overfishing and depleting tuna stocks worldwide. Declared by the United Nations General Assembly, World Tuna Day came into existence in 2017. The day holds particular relevance for South Africa due to the country's dependence on tuna fishing and trading as an essential part of its economy. South Africa, being a prominent member of International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), has an active role in advocating for sustainable fishing practices. Tuna is crucial for South Africa, as it contributes to food security and sustains South African livelihoods in many coastal communities. In South Africa, World Tuna Day is typically marked with activities that shed light on the importance of sustainability and responsible fishing. These activities often involve the participation of government bodies, environmental organisations, fishery communities, and other relevant stakeholders. Campaigns, workshops, and educational events are used to promote the responsible management of tuna resources and sustainable fishing practices. World Tuna Day is observed annually on the 2nd of May, dedicated to safeguarding this crucial marine resource for future generations. Facts about World Tuna Day
