Her name is Amelia. She's a bluefin who completely changed our understanding of these magnificent and valuable fish. Like the famous aviator she's named for, Amelia crossed the Atlantic when no one thought it possible. She was first tagged off the North East Coast of the US in 2004, then 14 years later, she showed up in the seas near Portugal, slaying the belief that tuna stay near the coasts where they're born. Journalist Karen Pinchin looks at the science and politics of ocean-travelling tuna and the humans trying to save the species from extinction in her new book, Kings of Their Own Ocean: Tuna, Obsession, and The Future of Our Seas.
