The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (http://www.iattc.org )looks after the ecological and sustainability side of it.

Certainly in a perfect world we wouldn’t need to fish tuna. We wouldn’t need to exploit oil either. We would live in harmony with nature, everybody in a big circle at a Green Peace Camp. The reality is a bit different, I’m afraid. We need source of energy for our body (food), and for the life stile we are used to (oil and gas). Certainly we need to use those resources in a way that guarantees its continuity (in the case of food), or its good use (in the case of oil and gas). Some expert will look after those resources, and they, with the politicians and economic forces will try to find the best option available.

In the meantime, I will look after my own resources. 23 years for retirement, a max of 1750 kgs of fuel per flight, and hopefully a competent colleague seating next to me.
