Global Tuna Alliance

What is it?

The Global Tuna Alliance (GTA) was created as a sector-wide, multi-stakeholder initiative of Partners to build a shared, global, and non-competitive solution to sustainability issues in the global tuna supply chain.

The GTA are committed to realizing harvest strategies for tuna fisheries, avoidance of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU) products, improved tuna traceability and environmental sustainability, and progressing human rights in tuna fisheries.

The GTA produces position statement documents and launches campaigns ahead of annual Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (RFMO)  meetings outlining asks on improvements to tuna fisheries, campaigns on other issues related to ocean and marine sustainability and fisher safety, and sets minimum standards for vessel transparency, tuna sourcing and identifying, preventing, mitigating and remediating human rights at work abuses for partners to implement in their supply chains.
