Chapter 1: Sustainable Longline Tuna Fisheries

Introduction

Welcome to the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation’s guide to best practices in longline tuna fishing. Our goal is to share the state of the art in responsible fishing operations, review the reporting requirements and other obligations to Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), and inform participants about the related ISSF Conservation Measures for the management of tuna and its larger marine ecosystem.
