This timeline graphic, developed in March 2025, shows 2011–2024 milestones in efforts by all tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to develop management strategy evaluations (MSE) and precautionary management procedures (MP) for albacore, bigeye, bluefin, and skipjack tuna stocks.
This infographic identifies solutions to several potential negative impacts of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs), and then tracks four tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations’ implementation of the solutions.
It is based on the peer-reviewed research article “Benefits, concerns, and solutions of fishing for tunas with drifting fish aggregation devices,” co-authored by ISSF’s Dr. Victor Restrepo and Dr. Gala Moreno and colleagues, which was published July 2023 in Fish and Fisheries.
The infographic was updated in March 2025.
All tuna RFMOs have made progress in using electronic monitoring (EM) systems to provide on-board vessel monitoring.
RFMOs begin using data received from EM systems for scientific and/or compliance purposes approximately two years after the adoption of EM minimum standards: one year for program implementation, and an additional year for data review and submission. However, for those CPCs currently implementing an EM program, this timeline could be shortened to one year.
