The ecological disaster that is dolphin safe tuna

If you work out the math on this (and you don’t have to, because the environmental justice foundation did) , you find that 1 dolphin saved costs 382 mahi-mahi, 188 wahoo, 82 yellowtail and other large fish, 27 sharks, and almost 1,200 small fish.

…

Is it worth saving dolphins, who were not and are not endangered, at the expense of sea turtles, sharks, and many other fish species who are endangered?

    I’ve got the perfect solution! Don’t eat tuna! Especially out of those weird silvery envelopes sold in incongruous...
