Tuna is a vital source of food and nutrition for millions of people around the world and demand is on the rise. World Tuna Day recognizes the need to protect marine biodiversity and strengthen science-based conservation efforts to ensure a sustainable future for fisheries and the communities that depend on them. Skipper workshops bring together scientists, fishers, and crew to develop bycatch mitigation tools and techniques through a participatory approach. FAO, and the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation or ISSF, with funding from the Global Environment Facility, are working together to tap into the know-how of tuna fishers, while giving them a say in how to balance the demands of the sector with sustainable practices.
