Securing the future of Eastern Pacific tuna: ISSF’s 2025 priorities for the IATTC
The Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) is home to some of the world’s most productive tuna fisheries, supplying a vital source of protein to millions of people while sustaining coastal economies across the Americas and beyond. The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) plays a central role in ensuring these fisheries are managed sustainably. As delegates prepare for the IATTC’s 2025 Annual Meeting in September, the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) is urging action on a set of science-driven priorities to safeguard the long-term health of tuna stocks and the ecosystems that support them.
