Overview

Free film premiere exploring tuna returning to Cornish waters! Followed by live Q&A

Bluefin tuna, famous across the world for their size, speed, and record-breaking sushi sales, recently reappeared in UK waters. Their return has sparked heated headlines: can this species lift local fisheries fortunes? Or should this rare fish simply be left alone?

To explore more about these ocean predators in Cornwall, we’re diving into the debate; speaking to local fishers, scientists, anglers and conservationists to discover the truth behind the headlines. Why did they disappear? How have they returned? Are they here to stay?

Through tales of historic trophy hunts to cutting-edge scientific tags, emerging new fisheries for sport and food, can we agree on anything about the species? And how do we ensure a future for this giant fish? Dive into the world of the bluefin.

In this hour-long online event, our new documentary film will screen for ~35 minutes, followed by a live expert panel session with open floor Q&A to answer any questions!
