To Improve Indian Ocean Tuna Sustainability, Managers Should Make

The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)—a regional fishery management organization (RFMO) charged with oversight of valuable tuna populations, including Indian Ocean yellowfin and skipjack—has an opportunity at its upcoming annual meeting to significantly improve how it makes decisions. IOTC will meet 8-12 May in Mauritius and online, with numerous measures up for discussion that could lead to stronger, more equitable fisheries management. This is distinct from many past annual meetings that were defined by contentious negotiations over yellowfin, fish aggregating devices and implementation of catch reductions.
