Applications open for recreational Bluefin Tuna fishing permits

Friday, 17 April 2026 15:19

25 permits will be issued for 2026, and will cost £500 each.

New regulations for a carefully controlled, 'catch and release' fishery for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in island waters have been approved.

READ: Sustainable tuna fishing allowed in Jersey waters this summer

After decades of international conservation work, Atlantic Bluefin Tuna have made a recovery.

Once classified as 'endangered', the species was upgraded to 'least concern' in 2021 following management across the Atlantic, and they have returned to Channel Island waters.

Jersey has joined the UK’s membership of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, so can participate in a regulated and internationally monitored fishery.

To receive an application form, islanders should email marineresources@gov.je.
