FACT # 3: The PNG Fishing Industry Association is dedicated to engaging with credible and robust sustainable certification programs by pursuing sustainable seafood certifications whenever feasible. We acknowledge certifications that have been benchmarked by the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI) and ensure that our tuna processors and buyers will only receive seafood certified through these programs. We are not only promoting PNG-certified seafood but also ensuring the availability of seafood for everyone and for future generations by obtaining Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification for our industrial and small-scale fisheries. In 2026, we look forward to pursuing two new small-scale fishery certifications, so stay tuned!

Sea Change Australia, funded by the federal government’s FRDC - Fisheries Research and Development Corporation, is working to build climate resilient fisheries – currently focusing on Western Australian scallops. https://lnkd.in/gPFZ2Qa9

Our partner Fish Tales | B Corp and its Impact Manager, Irene Kranendonk, show that full traceability is possible — even for processed seafood. This includes: ✅ Species ✅ Where & how it was caught Transparency is essential to prevent illegal fishing and labor abuses. This is the proof that he seafood sector can be part of the solution for sustainable fisheries. The EU must make transparency and traceability the standard — not the exception. #FollowTheFish #FightIllegalFishing #OceanPact

#SeafoodCareers - Offshore Fisher The seafood value chain starts on the water. Offshore fishers play a crucial role in harvesting seafood responsibly to meet global demand. It’s a physically demanding job, but one filled with adventure and purpose! Why is it important? ⛵ To navigate fishing vessels to rich waters 🎣 To operate nets, traps, and sustainable fishing methods 📋 To ensure catches meet legal and environmental standards Over 120 million people globally rely on fisheries for their livelihood. Sustainable fishing practices help maintain healthy oceans and thriving communities. Without offshore fishers, the seafood industry wouldn’t exist. They’re the first step in the seafood value chain, supplying restaurants, markets, and your favourite dishes. Want to know more?

As crucial Coastal States negotiations for pelagic fisheries in the North East Atlantic will be held over the coming weeks, it is a busy period for NAPA as we advocate on behalf of businesses across the seafood supply chain for improved management of these fisheries. NAPA, the North Atlantic Pelagic Advocacy Group, is an international collective of over 50 retailers, food service providers, and supply chain businesses united by a shared goal: long-term, science-based management of three key North East Atlantic pelagic stocks.     🐟 North East Atlantic mackerel  🐟 North East Atlantic blue whiting  🐟 Atlanto-Scandian herring (ASH)     These stocks are found in the open waters of the North East Atlantic Ocean, where they are fished by multiple Coastal States: nations with authority over the waters - and resources - off their shores. With uses ranging from human consumption to fishmeal and fish oil, these fisheries are some of the largest and most commercially significant worldwide. However, ongoing disputes between Coastal States over quota shares continue to threaten the long-term health of these stocks and the security of the supply chain.    NAPA was formed in response to these threats and uses the unique position that supply chain businesses have to advocate for improvements in the management of these fisheries. Since our formation in 2020, we have been calling for fair, robust, and long-term management to ensure sustainable fishing for generations to come. As this year’s negotiations for pelagic quotas begin, while our message remains the same, following recent scientific advice on the health of these stocks, the urgency for action is greater than ever.

Exciting news! ISSF is a 2025 Global Seafood Alliance (GSA) Responsible Seafood Innovation Award winner in the Fisheries category for our Jelly-FAD — a biodegradable fish aggregating device (FAD) that reduces bycatch, ghost fishing and ocean pollution. Built from sustainable, locally sourced materials and free of netting, it reduces marine animal entanglement risks while maintaining tuna fishing efficiency. This recognition highlights the power of science-driven solutions to make tuna fisheries more sustainable.

Center for Ocean Solutions Research Scholar Nicole Franz spoke with Nutrition Insight about the World Trade Organization Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, which entered into force last month. "Subsidies affected by the agreement are those that support illegal fishing, fishing of overfished stocks, and fishing in the high seas without a shared management arrangement," said Franz. "It remains to be seen how the first two aspects will translate for small-scale fishing communities, which at times rely on fish stocks that are negatively impacted by industrial fishing, either directly or through food chain dynamics.” Learn more about the potential impacts of subsidy cuts ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g4d6D4Ff

Policy brief mitigating postharvest losses in the high seas: strategic interventions for sustainable tuna fisheries - Frontiers in Marine Science: Tuna dominates Philippine fisheries production and exports, with High Seas Pocket 1 serving as a vital fishing ground. Postharvest losses, estimated at 17.25% of landed catch, translate into millions in annual economic losses, driven largely by traditional onboard handling and preservation limitations. WCPFC CMM 2023–01 should be amended to authorize carrier vessels equipped with freezing systems, while a Quality Management Program should be institutionalized to standardize handling, cold chain integrity, and safety practices across the tuna supply chain. Complementary policy instruments like traceability systems, cold chain expansion, competency-based training programs, fiscal incentives, and multi-stakeholder collaboration will operationalize QMP. A holistic loss-mitigation policy enhances food safety, promotes equity across the value chain, secures market access, and supports the resilience and sustainability of the tuna industry. https://lnkd.in/eezG2deE
