The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has provided the leading set of sustainability standards for the seafood industry for more than 20 years.  At the end of October, it officially rolled out the latest version –  Fisheries Standard, version 3.0.

After years of investment and intense scientific analysis, a harvest strategy (or management procedure) could finally be adopted next week at the annual meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC).

Gathered today in Vale do Lobo, Portugal, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) adopted a comprehensive management procedure (MP) for Atlantic bluefin tuna, its most iconic species.

Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) meet every year to make management decisions for some of the world’s most commercially important fisheries. Species such as skipjack, yellowfin and albacore tuna make up staple products on shelves in markets across the globe. Protecting these stocks and ensuring a stability and predictability of supply is not only good for the planet but also the bottom line.

From November 6th to 18th, the world will convene at the UNFCCC’s 27th Conference of the Parties (COP27) along the shores of the Red Sea in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.

La gestion traditionnelle des ressources halieutiques est un processus en deux étapes : i) les scientifiques évaluent les stocks par différents modèles numériques, ii) puis les gestionnaires de la pêche gèrent les pêcheries par des quotas ou des fermetures spatio-temporelles. Mais, les évaluations des stocks, sont souvent accompagnées d’incertitudes en raison des données incomplètes sur l’éco- biologie et la dynamique de l’espèce, sur la pêcherie et sur les variabilités océanographiques et climatiques.

In global politics, it’s easy for the world’s largest economic powers to crowd the room and dominate the discussion. But within the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC),
