What does dolphin-friendly labeling on canned tuna really mean?
The intention behind dolphin-friendly labeling on tuna products is to certify that labeled tuna has not been harvested in a manner that kills or harms dolphins. However, dolphin-friendly labeling has no international certification body, and does not go through an independent auditing process. Labeling is almost always subject to the laws of the country of origin. To find a list of dolphin-safe approved processors, visit the website of the Earth Island Institute’s International Marine Mammal project.
