UK government plans tuna sportfishing ban

One of the biggest success stories in British angling – DEFRA’s permission to fish for bluefin tuna – is under threat. Government officials have told the UK Bluefin Tuna Association that the catch-and-release CHART programme, which has seen dozens of charter boats gear up for tuna fishing and tag 1,800 bluefin tuna in British waters in the last two years, won’t happen in 2023. Anglers are furious.
