The International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF), in partnership with IPNLF member Asosiasi Perikanan Pole and Line dan Handline Indonesia (AP2HI), has announced that eight Indonesian one-by-one tuna fisheries have achieved Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification.
One of the largest seafood producers in the world, Indonesia and its fisheries play a crucial part in safeguarding marine ecosystems and global seafood suppliers, according to IPNLF. The fisheries that have earned MSC certification all utilize selective, small-scale operations for harvesting tuna. They signify how small-scale fisheries can compete and contribute to the global marketplace, AP2HI and IPNLF said.
“The advancement of these fisheries towards certification, is a tangible demonstration of the ability of small-scale fisheries to support their local communities and compete in the global marketplace,” IPNLF said.
