Part of the South African albacore tuna pole and line fishery, represented by ICV Africa, has become the first to successfully achieve MSC certification, after taking part in the In-Transition to MSC (ITM) programme
A second client group from the same fishery, represented by the South African Sustainable Tuna Association is currently being assessed.
Around 2,500 people work in the fishery, which operates largely out of the harbours at Cape Town and Hout Bay.
