Commission needs to take vital steps toward meeting its mandate to scientifically and sustainably manage its fisheries, says ISSF

Ahead of the next annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), taking place 11-18 November 2024, the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) is calling on members and cooperating non-members to prioritise the adoption of a new recommendation for tropical tuna management that includes stronger fish aggregating device (FAD) management and to expand the adoption of management procedures for more tuna stocks, especially western Atlantic skipjack.
