The world will never enjoy sustainable tuna fisheries if we fail to keep a commitment to conservation. These precious resources require the protection provided by consistent science-based management. Today that protection isn't nearly as robust as it should be, in some cases conservation has taken a back seat. ISSF is determined to change that.

From efforts to eliminate illegal fishing to supporting the work of scientists to pushing for change on the water, ISSF and its partners are constantly advocating and applying science and direct action in favor of more sustainable practices in global tuna fisheries. Sustainability begins with better management.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. Not every problem will be solved overnight, while not every obstacle requires time to overcome. What is necessary is an honest approach that involves every stakeholder in an effort to find lasting solutions.
