## New Service 'Fresh Tuna Emergency Spot Sale'
Starting in 2026, the 'Sawakami Fresh Tuna Direct Sales Club' (operated by the Sawakami Foundation, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has launched a new service, 'Fresh Tuna Emergency Spot Sale,' to prevent tuna price collapses caused by localized overfishing and to support sustainable fishing.
This new service is an initiative to support the fishermen of Nachikatsuura who stick to the sustainable fishing method of 'longline fishing'. When tuna prices crash due to abundant catches being bought at unfairly low prices, we cooperate with conscious brokers to buy and support the market.

Currently, marine resources are being depleted worldwide. Tuna is no exception, with several species like bluefin tuna designated as endangered due to years of overfishing. As the world's largest consumer of tuna, Japan must do something about this problem.
