The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) has released its 2015 annual report outlining tuna sustainability progress and achievements and arguing for continuous improvement of global tuna fisheries through collaboration and advocacy.
Highlights of Global Reach, Global Impact include participating company compliance, collaborative advocacy, and ISSF-model-in-action snapshots.
“Since 2009, ISSF has advanced science-driven approaches to sustainable tuna fisheries and served as a convener and facilitator for collaboration amongst a diverse group of stakeholders that share common goals,” said ISSF president Susan Jackson.
“In 2015, we continued to leverage this cross-stakeholder engagement to support and vigorously advocate to Regional Fisheries Management Organisations.
“We’re making progress toward the adoption and implementation of science-based measures that advance sustainably managed tuna stocks and we’re pleased to share the global impacts of our work – from the water to the shelf – in the 2015 annual report,” she added.
The report can be found at the ISSF website.
