An international workshop on biodegradable Fish Aggregating Devices (bio-FADs) was organized by the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) in San Sebastián, Spain, in December 2024. The event gathered 24 participants from the fishing industry, tuna RFMOs, and scientific institutions across the three tropical oceans.
The main objective was to review progress in the development, operational characteristics, and evaluation of biodegradable FADs regionally and globally, and to foster collaboration among stakeholders in anticipation of the regulatory deadlines for full transition to 100% biodegradable FADs established by most of the tuna RFMOs.
