Tuna Companies joined to achieve the Marine Stewardship Council Certification in TUNA Conservation through a Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP).
Our mission is to promote a Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP) for purse-seine tuna fisheries that perform through their vessels, that appropriately helps to build up a Certification Process under Marine Stewardship Council Standard (MSC).
Before December 31, 2020, TUNACONS fleet will have replaced at least 20% of traditional FADs with EcoFADs/NEDs
Sustainable fish stocks.
The target fish stocks must be maintained at sustainable levels. Any certified fishery must also operate so that fishing can continue indefinitely without overexploiting the resources.
Minimising environmental impacts.
Fishing operations should be managed to maintain the structure, productivity, function and diversity of the ecosystem on which the fishery depends, including other species
Effective management.
The fishery must meet all relevant local, national and international laws and must have a management SYSTEM in place to respond to changing circumstances in order to maintain sustainability.
