Meiho Co Ltd., a fish processing company based in Japan, has become the GTA’s latest Partner & its first-ever in Japan. This is a significant breakthrough, with Japan representing one of the largest consumers & catchers of tuna worldwide. Full story 👉 loom.ly/Pw9J97o

We're thrilled to welcome aboard the latest member of the MWC crew, Chelsey! 👋 Chelsey is set to use her organisational superpowers as our new Admin Assistant. When Chelsey isn't admin-ning away, you'll find her trail running & dancing on the beach with her young family 🏖️

We're pleased #ICCAT addressed one of the GTAs' key asks in approving the Minimum Standards & Program Requirements for the Use of Electronic Monitoring Systems. This decision is a significant step towards promoting transparent practices in the Eastern Pacific.

Last year, #ICCAT rolled over a previous interim Tropical Tuna Conservation Measure for the third year in a row. The lack of progress in developing a long-term plan is putting the market's patience to the test.

It can be hard to keep track of what goes on at #RFMO meetings. Fortunately, our bitesized #WCPFC outcomes report gives you the context behind the negotiations at last month's meeting & offers reaction from the market Read it here ☕️ globaltunaalliance.com/wp-content/upl…

We brought along Fortuna, the fortune-telling tuna fish to the Cook Islands to bestow prophecies on the #WCPFC delegations, leading them down pathways towards healthy tuna stocks. With so much progress on harvest strategies, it must have worked!

How well did #WCPFC do at securing a future for Pacific tuna last December at their 20th regular session in the Cook Islands? ✅ Measure passed ➡️ Progress was made but no measure ❌ No progress this time A full report on the outcomes can be found here 👉globaltunaalliance.com/wp-content/upl…

Fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Isolated from societal institutions, the industry is also exposed to human rights abuse such as forced labour practices. Fishers need legal protections to carry out their professions safely, with their rights protected.

Happy to have reconnected with so many people working on the same important issues re business and #humanrights. What a sense of community! And will miss this view of Lac Léman!

South Pacific albacore is a shared stock between #WCPFC & #IATTC. The market is looking for a joined up approach from both RFMOs to ensure that any management measure for the stock is truly effective. #SecureAFutureFortuna

A meeting of the Northern Committee in July paved the way for the adoption of a management procedure (MP) for NP albacore with HCRs. If #WCPFC adopts this MP, we will have the first-ever Pacific-wide harvest strategy. The market is urging #WCPFC to push this over the line!

#WCPFC is just one week away! Ahead of the meeting, our Executive Director lays out what's at stake for tuna stocks & the seafood market if decision-makers fall short of advancing harvest strategies. Read his opinion piece in @SeafoodSource 👉 loom.ly/fIEUiks

Bigeye & yellowfin stocks are behind other #WCPO stocks in the development of harvest strategies. We cannot leave the health of these stocks to chance. The market is urgently seeking a conservation measure to deliver greater certainty in sourcing sustainable tuna from the area.

The failure to adopt Target Reference Points for bigeye is holding up the development of a full management procedure. It's lagging behind other stocks in the #WCPO like skipjack & SP albacore. The longer it takes to adopt TRPs, the longer bigeye is left exposed to overfishing.

Last year, #WCPFC made significant progress in passing its first-ever harvest strategy for skipjack tuna. This year, we’re asking that #WCPFC accelerate harvest strategies across the board, to ensure stocks don’t “fall out of the green”. Read more 👉 loom.ly/AEM7rtM

The GTA are delighted to welcome the Green Fish Company to our Alliance. A tuna processor based on the Atlantic island of St. Helena, they join as #ICCAT delegates meet in Cairo this week to discuss the management of Atlantic tuna stocks. More here 👇 loom.ly/iD1iGMw

Not planning ahead can lead to stressful situations. However, for the tropical tuna stocks in the Atlantic, the lack of a long-term conservation plan could have catastrophic consequences. #ICCAT #MakeAPlanToLast

Our Partners want to source responsibly caught tuna from the Atlantic, which you can’t have without a transparent fishing industry. And you can’t have a transparent industry until there’s 100% observer coverage onboard all commercial tuna fishing vessels. #ICCAT
