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.

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