Acknowledgements

ISSF would like to thank the Pacific Islands Regional Office of the National Marine Fisheries Service in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; Birdlife International and its Albatross Task Force; the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP); the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF); Jeffrey Muir, John Carlson, Eric Gilman, Alexia Morgan, Stephanie Prince, Sandra Andraka, and Mariluz Parga for content review; and all of the scientists and skippers who have contributed to our understanding of sustainable tuna fishing practices.

We also would like to acknowledge funding by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) provided through the Common Oceans Tuna Project, implemented by FAO, which is a unique and innovative partnership working towards transformational change in tuna fisheries management and biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.
