Our most recent annual report covers 2024 results and was published in April 2025. We released our latest strategic plan in 2023.

Our 2024 annual report, Science Leads the Way (PDF), published in April 2025, emphasizes ISSF’s commitment to science-based solutions for sustainable tuna.

“We have an active scientific research program in house, and we partner with fellow scientists and research organizations internationally,” explains ISSF President Susan Jackson in her welcome message in the report. “ISSF conducts and commissions original research on critical issues in tuna fisheries — working closely with colleagues, academic institutions, and conservation agencies around the world, and then disseminating our findings and policy recommendations to fishers, Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), governments, and other decision-makers.”

Science Leads the Way includes:

• Science highlights such as an electronic monitoring milestone, breakthrough on jelly-FADs, scientific output, supporting Marine Stewardship Council sustainability certification, and in-the-field outreach
• Updates on industry commitment from seafood companies and vessels, tuna stock health, and advocacy outcomes
