NIRSA is firmly committed to leadership on environmental issues and has thus developed an ambitious environmental sustainability policy whose primary focus at its first stage is the sustainability of tuna fish stocks. NIRSA is committed to the following sustainability actions: Developing long-term collaborative links with scientists. So that commercial fishermen's knowledge on the fishery and fishes are combined with scientific knowledge and used to address issues of common concern. In that regard, NIRSA has established a "tuna working group" with the objective of addressing conservation and management issues related to FADs (fish aggregating devices) from a new perspective: associating scientists and stakeholders such as skippers and fleet owners to address research and management issues. The aim will be to define the best FAD-fishing practices and appropriate management measures to be taken to ensure a sustainable fishery.
