Reference points are the benchmarks that scientists and managers use to compare the current status of a stock or fishery to a desirable (or undesirable) state.

Tuna regional fisheries management organizations are generally guided by an overarching mandate to maintain populations at or above the level that can produce maximum sustainable yield

Management strategy evaluation (MSE) is a tool that scientists and managers can use to simulate the workings of a fisheries system and allow them to test whether potential harvest strategies—or management procedures— can achieve pre-agreed management objectives.

Harvest control rules provide more benefits than the traditional approach of conducting stock assessments and then negotiating fishing limits or quotas

An alternative approach, known as “harvest strategies” or “management procedures,” is emerging as the next innovation in fisheries management.

A well-designed and well-tested harvest strategy, paired with an effective compliance regime, can ensure that depleted stocks fully recover and provide long-term, sustainable, and profitable fisheries.

Adopting harvest strategies is key to achieving a sustainable and profitable future for the region’s critical tuna fisheries.

Using a shortcut approach to develop a management strategy evaluation (MSE), a tool used to evaluate harvest strategies, can speed up the process but often provides less robust results.

Harvest strategies are modernizing fisheries management and establish a science-based approach to achieving prolific and sustainable fisheries
