World Tuna Day takes place on May 02, 2025 and was established by the United Nations in 2016. First celebrated in 2017, this day now annually highlights the importance of sustainable tuna fishing to protect global tuna stocks, which are vital for many economies and ecosystems. Tuna supports livelihoods in several countries and is a key source of protein for millions worldwide.
World Tuna Day promotes international cooperation in sustainable fisheries management and encourages consumers to support certified sustainable tuna products to protect this critical resource.
