"Red Gold" offers unparalleled access to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, showing that the institution has faithfully executed the task assigned it by international law: to fish as hard as possible to grow national economies. ICCAT manages the bluefin not to protect them but to secure export markets for commodity empires—and is complicit in their extermination.
