The authors of a new study predicting a dramatic change in Pacific tuna migration are urging regional leaders to be proactive.
Published on Friday, the study by Conservation International and various technical agencies says Tuna dependent Pacific economies are facing a more serious threat from climate change induced ocean warming than previously forecast.
The research found that if warming continues unabated, within 30 years the tuna catch will likely decline by 20 percent in the waters of 10 countries studied.
