Excerpt
Senator Loren Legarda on Friday expressed alarm over the declining tuna stocks worldwide due to overfishing. Noting the Red List of Threatened Species of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which revealed that five of the eight tuna species in the world have been considered threatened with extinction, Legarda said that the issue is relevant to the Philippine fishing industry. The country is the fourth largest producer of fresh chilled and canned tuna products in the world.
