WCPFC adopted a management procedure for South Pacific albacore on its last meeting day. Extensive negotiations preceded which option to choose due to conflicting interests among members...zurl.co/6slUW @Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) #albacore

GTA, along with @ISSF and @pewtrusts, are calling for a new management procedure for South Pacific #albacore "the economic viability of the species may rely on the WCPFC taking action". seafoodsource.com/news/envir…

The agenda at @wcpfc may be technical, but its impact is human. Decisions on South Pacific #albacore #tuna will shape livelihoods, coastal economies and trust across fleets, communities and markets. We’re calling on remaining members support the MP to #AnchorAlbacoresFuture.

“I don’t think that members can leave this meeting without having adopted a management procedure,”... “I believe that members recognize how high the stakes are,” - #WCPFC Executive Director Rhea Moss-Christian. mb.com.ph/2025/12/01/pacific…

#WCPFC22 opens in Manila tomorrow. The groundwork for South Pacific albacore is done. The task now is alignment and making the proposal work in practice. We’ll be on the ground this week, representing 41 retailers & buyers, encouraging members to reach a decision. More soon!

No albacore management plan = risk of losing MSC certification = weaker sourcing confidence = disruption for supply chains = less viable fishery. A solution is on the table. Adoption of the Pacific-led proposal at #WCPFC22 would secure future assessments and protect access.

⚠️The warning signs are clear. ⚠️ Look at Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna: when science-based management was delayed, supply chains reacted. South Pacific albacore is not in that position. There’s a tested management procedure ready to adopt at #WCPFC22. #AnchorAlbacoresFuture
