Global Longline Tuna

The Global Longline Tuna Supply Chain Roundtable (SR) was a forum for companies involved in the supply of longline-caught tuna, irrespective of final destination of finished product (fresh and frozen, or shelf-stable). This SR was active from 2016-2022 and worked on a number of issues, including 1) FIP catalyzation and support, 2) tuna RFMO advocacy, 3) bycatch mitigation and observer coverage, 4) supporting the NGO Tuna Forum and 5) resource development. In January 2022, due to a shift in focus and funding availability,  SFP decided to focus only on aspects related to bycatch in these fisheries, while the Global Tuna Alliance will continue the RFMO engagement work.
