dolphin safe

Cetacean-friendly certification

Dolphin safe is a labeling term for canned tuna, indicating the fish was caught using methods that minimize harm to dolphins.

Dolphins and tuna often swim together, and traditional fishing practices killed millions of dolphins as bycatch.

Look for the dolphin safe label when buying tuna.

The term sometimes extends metaphorically to other ethically sourced products.
