EII Compliments Soltai And Tri-Marine On Dolphin Safe ff

24 January 2007 United States

Earth Island Institute extends hearty congratulations to Soltai and Trimarine for the expansion of dolphin safe tuna exports to the USA.

The USA consumer is very knowledgeable of what the dolphin safe logo stands for on canned tuna.

Earth Island is the respected leader in working with the tuna industry to guarantee the dolphin safe logo is truthful so that the consumers are buying the quality and dolphin safe product they demand.

The Government of the Solomon Islands is to be commended for continuing the legal ban on live dolphin exports and ending the trade in these mammals.

This proves that Dolphin Safe tuna exports are indeed the key to economic growth of the Solomon Islands, NOT live dolphin exports.
