It's Tuesday, January 6th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 32 Christians since Christmas Killings of Christians continue unabated in Nigeria, reports TruthNigeria.com. Islamist terrorists have killed at least 32 Christians since Christmas, and burned down hundreds of homes in the Adamawa, Kebbi, and Plateau states. Congressman asserts Nigerian Christians targeted for their faith On January 1st, Republican U.S. Congressman Riley Moore of West Virginia weighed in on X. He wrote, “If there were any remaining doubts that Christians in Nigeria are being targeted for their faith in Jesus Christ, this should end that debate.  This isn't about land usage, ‘climate change,' or any other argument the Left wants to make. “This is persecution of our brothers and sisters for their faith in Christ, plain and simple. ISIS is telling Christians they have an opportunity to ‘spare their blood' if they convert. Our brothers and sisters will not bend the knee to anyone but our Lord and Savior.” Also, late last week, the Islamic-supported Allied Democratic Forces carried out a deadly nighttime incursion, killing at least 15 people in the Lubero territory of Congo, Africa. 20 Iranians have died in protests in 78 cities Iranian protests enter Day 9 where at least 20 people have died in the unrest. Protests have been cited in 78 cities across 26 provinces, reports Iran International.  According to The Times on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader has a backup plan in place — to abscond to Russia should his security forces fail. North Korea shot hypersonic missiles Sunday North Korea successfully fired off several hypersonic missiles on Sunday, connecting with targets 700 miles away in Korea's East Sea. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un called it a “very important strategic task to maintain and expand a powerful and reliable nuclear deterrent.”  Back in 2019, China deployed hypersonic technology. But the United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology — it is still in the testing phase.  Number of foreigners in Austria, Belgium and UK skyrocketing Remix News reports that over 41% of the population of Vienna, Austria's capital, is foreign born. And 50 percent of first-graders do not understand German. Also, Muslim students now account for 41.2 percent of all elementary school students, while Christian students fell to 34.5 percent. Plus, Austria, Belgium, and the United Kingdom have the highest percentages of babies born to immigrants — above 30%. Venezuelan dictator and wife plead not guilty The Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both arrested by the U.S. government over the weekend, appeared in a New York City Court Monday to face charges of narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy. and weapons offenses. They entered pleas of innocence to the charges. Psalm 37:9 is clear: “Evildoers shall be cut off; but those who wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the Earth.” China financed $60 billion loans to Venezuela Come to find out China has been a major player in Venezuela since 2000. The Council on Foreign Relations reports that Venezuela ate up $60 billion of Chinese loans accounting for fully half of all the money that China loaned to South America over the years. And China has been taking in about 80% of Venezuelan oil exports of late. Rubio objects to Iran, China, & Russia propping up Venezuela Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio objected to America's enemies propping up Venezuela in America's backyard. Listen. RUBIO: “We don't need Venezuela's oil. We have plenty of oil in the United States. What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States. You have to understand. Why does China need their oil? Why does Russia need their oil? Why does Iran need their oil? They're not even in this continent. “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors and rivals of the United States. We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela. “Why have 8 million people left Venezuela? Eight million: the single largest mass migration probably in modern history, left Venezuela in 2014 because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela. You know how destabilizing 8 million migrants is? “The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, that all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event. That's what they feel. This is deeply destabilizing stuff. ”It's not going to continue to happen. They are not going to come from outside of our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, and us have to pay the price for it, not under President Trump.” Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Uruguay & Spain upset about Maduro The governments of Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain have issued a statement airing their disagreement with the U.S. military actions taken against Venezuela over the weekend.   The statement appealed to what they called the “principles of the United Nations Charter.” Trump upset that drug cartels are running Mexico and Columbia President Donald Trump has also told the U.S. press that something has to be done with Mexico. He told Fox News that the  drug cartels are running the country.  Plus, he called Columbia a “sick country” run by a “sick” president who “likes to sell Cocaine to the United States.” Trump said he's not going to be doing this very long.   And the president said, “Cuba is ready to fall” as well.  But let us all remember Who rules. Psalm 22:28-29 says, “For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the Earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive.” Dallas street preachers handcuffed and detained without cause Here in America, street preachers connected with a “Reformed Baptist evangelistic ministry, [Testimonies of God], committed to the supremacy of Scripture and the advancement of Christ's Gospel,” were handcuffed and detained by police officers in Dallas a few weeks ago. The Christian Post reports that an officer had required the evangelists to get off the public sidewalk and cross the street — an order the preachers believed was unlawful. So far, no charges have been filed in the case. 15 states still allow trans surgeries and drugs for kids Two hospitals in left-wing Colorado have decided to stop writing prescriptions for sex-change drugs for children, reports 9-News. Children's Hospital and Denver Health have cited warnings from the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. Colorado was the faux-sex-change capital of the world in the 1980s and 1990s.   Sadly, 15 states still allow gender-based mutilation or gender-debilitating drugs for kids including Colorado, California, Oregon, Illinois, and New York. Japanese restaurant paid $3.24 million for bluefin tuna And finally, a Japanese sushi chain set a record for the price paid for a fish yesterday.  The Japan Times reports that Sushi Zanmai paid $3.24 million for a Pacific bluefin tuna at Tokyo's fish auction. That's an astounding $6,600 per pound!

In this guest lecture, Dr. Walt Golet from the University of Maine provided an in-depth exploration of the remarkable physiology and global movements of Atlantic bluefin tuna. Dr. Golet highlighted the species' exceptional adaptations, such as their ability to regulate body temperature and sustain high-speed, long-distance migrations, which contribute to their status as apex ocean predators. The seminar discussed extensive lab research efforts, including the collection and analysis of over 12,000 bluefin tuna samples since 2011, focusing on biological data like age, growth, and stock origin to enhance stock assessments and inform management strategies. Dr. Golet also emphasized the importance of understanding the mixing between eastern and western Atlantic stocks, a factor critical to sustainable fisheries management. As an active contributor to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), Dr. Golet integrates his scientific findings into international policy discussions, aiming to ensure the long-term sustainability of bluefin tuna populations through informed, science-based management practices.

In this episode of "How to Protect the Ocean," host Andrew Lewin dives into the intricate world of fisheries management, focusing specifically on tuna fishing. Joined by Dr. Victor Restrepo from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), the discussion revolves around the recently released report titled "Snapshot of Large-Scale Tuna Per Seine Fishing Vessels." Andrew and Victor explore key topics such as the current state of tuna fishing, the number of fishing vessels in operation, and the countries they represent. Victor shares insights on the surprising stability in vessel numbers, expressing both concern over the lack of decrease and hope for future improvements in fishing practices. Tune in to learn what types of tuna are sustainable to eat and how we can all contribute to better ocean health through informed choices.

This stability indicates a balance between fishing capacity and resource availability, which is essential for sustainable fisheries management. Dr. Victor Restrepo, an expert in tuna fisheries management, noted that while the number of vessels has experienced slight fluctuations, there have been no significant increases or decreases. Over the past 12 years, the count has remained within the range of 640 to 670 vessels. This consistency is particularly noteworthy given the high operational costs associated with these large vessels, which can carry over 400 tons of tuna per trip and can cost between $30 to $40 million when fully equipped. Several factors contribute to the stability in vessel numbers: Economic Considerations: The substantial investment required to build and maintain these vessels means that potential operators must carefully weigh costs against expected returns from fishing, which may limit the number of new entrants into the industry. Resource Limitations: Tuna fisheries are governed by quotas and regulations established by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs). These regulations help ensure that fishing efforts do not exceed sustainable levels, maintaining a balance between the number of vessels and the available tuna stocks. Conservation Measures: Organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) play a vital role in promoting sustainable practices within the industry. The ISSF has implemented conservation measures that restrict the construction of new vessels unless older ones are scrapped, helping to control fishing capacity. Market Demand: While the demand for tuna, particularly in the sashimi market, remains high, there is an increasing preference for sustainably sourced products. This shift in consumer behavior encourages fishing companies to adopt sustainable practices, influencing their operational decisions regarding fleet size. Monitoring and Compliance: The presence of observers on purse seine vessels, especially in tropical tuna fisheries, ensures compliance with regulations and helps monitor bycatch. This oversight can deter illegal fishing practices and promote responsible management of tuna stocks. In summary, the relatively stable number of large-scale tuna purse seine fishing vessels reflects a complex interplay of economic, regulatory, and market factors. While this stability is a positive sign for sustainable fisheries management, ongoing efforts are necessary to ensure that tuna populations remain healthy and that fishing practices continue to evolve in response to environmental and market demands. Understanding Tuna Fisheries Management Tuna fisheries management is a complex and multifaceted issue involving various stakeholders, including scientists, fishing companies, processing companies, and regulatory bodies. In a recent episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, Dr. Victor Restrepo from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) provided valuable insights into the current state of tuna fisheries, the challenges they face, and the efforts being made to ensure sustainability. The Importance of Tuna Species Tuna is a significant fishery resource, comprising three main species of bluefin tuna and 23 stocks of major commercial tunas. Although bluefin tuna accounts for only 1% of the total catch, it generates 99% of the media attention due to its high market value, particularly in the sashimi market. An individual bluefin tuna can fetch prices as high as $70,000 to $100,000, leading to illegal fishing and overfishing in the past. However, since 2009, management practices have improved, and many stocks are showing signs of recovery. Fishing Methods and Bycatch Concerns The primary method for catching tuna is purse seining, where a large net encircles a school of fish, allowing for significant catches. While this method is efficient, it has raised concerns about bycatch, particularly in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, where dolphins often associate with tuna schools. The podcast highlighted the importance of distinguishing between different fishing practices and their impacts, noting that not all tuna fisheries face the same challenges. Regulatory Framework and Challenges Tuna fisheries are managed by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs), which are responsible for setting quotas and regulations. However, a significant challenge arises from the fact that many vessels are authorized to fish in multiple RFMOs, complicating global management efforts. Dr. Restrepo expressed frustration over the lack of a unified system to manage fishing capacity across different regions, which can lead to overcapacity and increased fishing pressure. The Role of ISSF and Market Influence The ISSF plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable tuna fishing practices by collaborating with processing companies to implement science-driven conservation measures. These measures aim to reduce bycatch, limit the use of harmful fishing gear, and ensure that new vessels are not added without scrapping older ones. The podcast emphasized the importance of market demand in driving these changes, as processing companies are increasingly committed to sourcing tuna from sustainable fisheries. Consumer Awareness and Action One of the key takeaways from the episode is the role of consumers in promoting sustainable fishing practices. By becoming more knowledgeable about tuna fisheries and making informed purchasing decisions, consumers can support responsible fisheries and encourage better practices within the industry. Dr. Restrepo highlighted that education is the first step, and consumers can reward fisheries that are doing well while avoiding those that are not. Conclusion Tuna fisheries management is a complex issue that requires collaboration among various stakeholders, including scientists, regulatory bodies, and the fishing industry. While there have been significant improvements in management practices and the recovery of certain stocks, challenges remain, particularly regarding overcapacity and bycatch. Organizations like the ISSF are working to bridge the gap between science and industry, promoting sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the economy. As consumers, we have the power to influence these practices through our choices, making it essential to stay informed and engaged in the conversation about tuna fisheries and ocean conservation. Consumer awareness and education play a crucial role in promoting sustainable fishing practices, particularly in the context of tuna fisheries. As highlighted in the podcast episode with Dr. Victor Restrepo, informed consumer choices can significantly impact the fishing industry by rewarding responsible fisheries and encouraging better management of tuna stocks. The Importance of Consumer Knowledge Dr. Restrepo emphasizes that education is the first step toward making informed decisions about seafood consumption. When consumers understand the complexities of tuna fishing, including the various species, fishing methods, and the environmental impacts associated with them, they are better equipped to choose sustainably sourced products. This knowledge empowers consumers to support fisheries that adhere to responsible practices, thereby incentivizing those fisheries to maintain sustainable operations. Rewarding Responsible Fisheries By opting for tuna products that are certified as sustainable or sourced from fisheries that follow best practices, consumers can create a demand for responsible fishing. This demand encourages fisheries to adopt better management strategies, such as reducing bycatch and adhering to quotas. As Dr. Restrepo notes, the involvement of processing companies that prioritize sustainability has led to significant changes in the industry. These companies often require their suppliers to meet specific conservation measures, which can include 100% observer coverage on fishing vessels, as seen in the Indian Ocean. Encouraging Better Management of Tuna Stocks The podcast also discusses the role of organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) in promoting science-driven management of tuna stocks. The ISSF works with processing companies to implement conservation measures that not only protect tuna populations but also enhance the overall health of marine ecosystems. When consumers support these initiatives through their purchasing decisions, they contribute to a larger movement that advocates for sustainable fisheries management. Conclusion In summary, consumer awareness and education are vital for fostering sustainable fishing practices. By making informed choices, consumers can reward fisheries that operate responsibly and encourage the adoption of better management practices for tuna stocks. As the podcast illustrates, the collective efforts of consumers, processing companies, and organizations like the ISSF can lead to meaningful change in the fishing industry, ensuring that tuna remains a viable resource for future generations.
