Tuna and Sushi
    == Doug's Report ==

Good morning Eiji,

It looks we will need to take action adjust
eating some of our favorite sushi. From now
on we shouldn't eat the "hon maguro" tuna
so that our children can enjoy this fish with
their children.

Many people in Japan will of course complain
about this and selfishly continue to eat the
bluefin tuna without really understanding
the problem.
The media in Japan will ignore the real story
and focus on the world bullying Japan.

The real story which the rest of the world
is focused on is, that we like sushi too,
and if we want our children to enjoy this
beautiful fish, then we need to slow down
and take a break so the fish can grow.

If you ask the children at your nursery
schools if they think we should "take a break"
and not eat bluefin tuna [hon manguro] then
they will certainly say OK because they
understand we need to share.

During our time in Victoria you will remember
that I took you to the salmon fishing spot,
and I was surprised to see there was no fishing.
The simple truth is that if we don't
"take a break" and let the fish grow, there will
be no hon maguro or bluefin tuna.
That's all this ban is about -- to take a break a bit.

People in Japan have big hearts too and if they
understood this then I'm sure they would agree.
The government is concerned about the low
number of children being born and this tuna
issue is similar.
The world is concerned about this "Blue Fin" tuna.

I hope the media in Japan needs to be more
truthful in their reporting.
I'll stop eating "hon maguro" from today so I can
enjoy some with our children at their weddings

Doug
