Group

Tuna companies have come together to achieve Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, with the aim of meeting their highest conservation standards.

Our goals include maximizing the sustainable yield of tropical tuna stocks based on scientific research, providing technical training programs to improve the performance of the tuna fishing industry, and supporting efforts to reduce environmental impacts on marine ecosystems.
