ISSF Senior Scientist Dr. Gala Moreno joins “How to Protect the Ocean” host Andrew Lewin to talk about the state of the world’s tuna stocks and how ISSF works with fishers, scientists and policymakers to keep them healthy.
In this episode, they talk about fish aggregating devices (FADs): how they attract tuna, the risks they pose to the wider ecosystem, and the non-entangling and biodegradable designs being developed to reduce that impact. Dr. Moreno also explains how acoustic technology is helping fishers tell tuna species apart before they set their nets, which can help to reduce bycatch.
