Fisheries Minister Mao Zeming made the announcement after the United Nation’s General Assembly ratified May 2 as the World Tuna Day.
“It is important that our people, particularly our children, gain more knowledge about tuna and understand the conservative measures that are in place to protect this valuable resource,” he said.
Zeming added that “our waters are home to 70% of the world’s tuna and with the right management and conservation mechanism in place, this resource will support our livelihood for generations to come.”
