Why I started SaveTheBluefin.com?

I have always loved the bluefin tuna as well as other tunas and cannot stand idle and watch the challenges continue to mount for these great gamefish. I have been around the water my entire life and my love for fishing and the ocean environment is of paramount importance. I have been a long time recreational angler, commercial fished for salmon through college and spent some time working at a fishing magazine. I decided to merge my love for tuna and my career in technology by launching this site SaveTheBluefin. This site is essentially a social network, kind of like the MySpace for tuna. The site's main goal is to promote awareness about the challenges tuna face and to help with conservation and research through tagging. I choose the social network format because it encourages interaction and conversation. In addition to the site, SaveTheBluefin is also active on Twitter and Facebook. I welcome you to follow SaveTheBluefin on Twitter here.

As the site evolves there are may exciting days ahead. Thanks for spending a few minutes here. Shoot an email if you have any questions, wish to write a guest blog post, or help in any way to savethebluefintuna(at)gmail(dot)com. Really the best way to reach me is through this site so become a member and leave a comment on my page.

Working for a better tuna future,
