The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation released its latest Status of the Stocks Report, finding a higher percentage of the global tuna catch comes from stocks with a healthy level of abundance than in 2021

The western and central Pacific Ocean is home to the world’s largest tuna fishery, with commercially valuable fish populations, including skipjack tuna, worth billions of dollars each year.

A huge marine reserve in the Pacific Ocean has led to the recovery of tuna and other migratory fish around its borders, according to a study. The Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawaii is almost four times the size of California.

The climate crisis and warming waters may cause tuna to redistribute, threatening tuna-dependent economies in the Pacific, a new study concludes.

Small Pacific Island states depend on their commercial fisheries for food supplies and economic health. But our new research shows climate change will dramatically alter tuna stocks in the tropical Pacific, with potentially severe consequences for the people who depend on them.

The Pew Research Center is hopeful an emergency meeting of a major fisheries agency will mean controls are put in place for the 2021 season in the eastern Pacific. The Inter-American tropical Tuna Commission, the IATTC, manages tuna fish stocks in the eastern part of the Pacific.
