    🌊 Happy World Ocean Day from BlueNalu! World Ocean Day celebrates the beauty and importance of our oceans and reaffirms our commitment to their protection and preservation. This year’s theme is “Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate,” which aligns well with our mission at BlueNalu. Embracing cell-cultivated seafood offers an avenue to alleviate the pressure on dwindling bluefin tuna populations, safeguarding these magnificent creatures and their ocean habitats. In honor of #WorldOceanDay, here are three fun facts about our favorite marine species: 1. Bluefin tuna are champion travelers, known to travel thousands of miles across different oceans. 2. With speeds up to 40 mph, bluefin tuna are among the fastest fish in the sea. 3. Unlike most fish, bluefin tuna are warm-blooded, enabling them to maintain a higher body temperature than their surroundings and thrive in diverse ocean climates. Together, let's continue to work towards a healthier, thriving ocean for generations to come!

    It’s #WorldTunaDay! Celebrated on May 2nd, this holiday was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2016 to raise awareness about the importance of this apex predator and to promote sustainable fishing practices to ensure the long-term conservation of tuna stocks. Tuna is a vital resource and magnificent species providing an extraordinary component of our global protein supply, food security, and economic livelihoods. However, tuna populations face numerous threats, including overfishing, IUU fishing, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change, which is why BlueNalu aims to play a critical role in providing a complementary solution to supplement our global demand for bluefin tuna.    Last year, Lou Cooperhouse sat down with fifth generation San Diego fisherman Tommy Gomes to discuss the ever-changing seafood landscape. In each episode of the top-rated show on Outdoor Channel, The Fishmonger, Tommy shows viewers what it’s like trying to navigate the modern US fishing industry while capturing the essence of a once-mighty culture. Further, this year we were pleased to share that BlueNalu has gained membership into the National Fisheries Institute (NFI), the leading trade association in the United States representing the nation’s critically important seafood industry. This membership, as an inaugural member of its Sushi Council, underscores BlueNalu’s commitment to collaboration, food security, and expanding the seafood market with responsible production practices.    BlueNalu is honored to have been embraced by the conventional fishing industry as part of the solution; all solutions are needed to feed a growing planet without continuing to compromise fish stocks for vital species like bluefin tuna. Thank you for being a part of our journey towards a blue future.    Checkout season 3, episode 8 of the Fishmonger on Amazon Prime: https://lnkd.in/gt57KQDD
