Our “snapshots” identify best practices that Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) should follow to manage tuna fisheries sustainably.

In detailed tables, the snapshots compare tuna RFMO progress in implementing the practices.

For a high-level comparison across the five RFMOs, see our Tuna RFMO Best Practice Performance “scorecard” below. We also publish companion “best-practices reports” on these topics and “RFMO progress” infographics.

Description

Note: The information in this snapshot is current for 2023. The RFMOs have not made changes to vessel monitoring system (VMS) requirements since the report was published in 2022.

This “snapshot” identifies best practices in vessel monitoring systems, and then shows each RFMO’s progress in implementing those practices. The snapshot was updated in March 2022.
