However, recent discussions have highlighted significant shortcomings in the MSC's ability to effectively track forced labor within tuna fisheries. Reliance on Self-Reported Information One of the primary issues with the MSC's certification process is its reliance on self-reported information from trade associations, manufacturers, and distributors. This means that the MSC does not require direct reporting from vessel owners or operators, who are the entities where forced labor is most likely to occur. As noted in a recent podcast episode, researcher Katrina Nakamura, who analyzed data from tuna vessels, found that 74% of MSC-certified sustainable tuna was untraceable to the vessel owners or fishing employers. This lack of traceability raises serious concerns about the integrity of the MSC certification. Lack of Monitoring and Accountability The MSC's standards do not include provisions for monitoring the actual conditions aboard fishing vessels. There are no requirements for fisheries observers or human rights monitors to be present on these vessels, which means that the MSC is not actively verifying the claims made by the self-reporting entities. This creates a significant loophole, allowing vessels associated with human trafficking and forced labor to benefit from the MSC eco-label without any accountability. Katrina Nakamura's research revealed that it was relatively easy for her to identify multiple cases of forced labor on vessels certified by the MSC. She highlighted that if she could find this information quickly, it is hard to believe that the MSC could be unaware of these issues. This suggests a troubling lack of diligence on the part of the MSC in ensuring that its certified fisheries are genuinely free from forced labor practices. Implications for Consumers For consumers, the MSC label is often seen as a guarantee of ethical and sustainable seafood. However, the findings discussed in the podcast indicate that this trust may be misplaced. The MSC has acknowledged concerns about forced labor and human rights abuses in the tuna supply chain but continues to advise consumers to choose MSC-certified tuna as a way to reduce exposure to these risks. This advice is problematic, as it does not reflect the reality of the situation, where many certified fisheries may still be complicit in labor abuses. Call for Improvement The podcast emphasizes the need for the MSC to implement more robust measures to protect vulnerable workers in the fishing industry. This includes requiring that vessel owners be identified and screened against publicized lists of implicated vessels, as well as establishing stricter monitoring protocols to ensure compliance with human rights standards. In conclusion, while the MSC plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable fishing practices, its current approach to tracking forced labor within tuna fisheries is inadequate. By relying on self-reported information and failing to monitor conditions aboard vessels, the MSC risks undermining its own credibility and the trust of consumers who seek to make ethical choices in their seafood consumption. Addressing these shortcomings is essential for ensuring that the MSC can fulfill its mission of promoting sustainability and protecting human rights in the fishing industry. The Shortcomings of Ecolabels in Tuna Fisheries: A Closer Look at Forced Labor In a recent episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin delves into the critical issue of forced labor within tuna fisheries, particularly focusing on the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and its certification processes. While ecolabels like the MSC are designed to assure consumers that the seafood they purchase is sustainably sourced and ethically produced, the reality is far more complex and troubling. The Role of Ecolabels Ecolabels serve as a guide for consumers who want to make responsible choices regarding their seafood consumption. They are intended to indicate that the seafood has been sourced from fisheries that adhere to sustainable practices and respect human rights. The MSC, for instance, certifies fisheries based on self-reported information from trade associations, manufacturers, and distributors. This system is meant to ensure that the entire supply chain—from fishing vessels to processing companies—operates under ethical standards. The Problem of Forced Labor However, the podcast highlights significant gaps in the MSC's reporting and monitoring processes, particularly concerning forced labor. Katrina Nakamura's recent publication in Nature reveals alarming statistics: 74% of MSC-certified sustainable tuna was found to be untraceable to the vessel owners or fishing employers. This lack of traceability raises serious questions about the conditions under which the fish are caught. Nakamura's research indicates that approximately 128,000 fishers are trapped in forced labor aboard fishing vessels. These individuals often work under hazardous conditions, receive little to no pay, and are subjected to physical and psychological abuse. The podcast emphasizes that many of these vessels are certified by the MSC, which claims to uphold high standards for human rights and sustainability. Self-Reporting and Accountability One of the most concerning aspects of the MSC's certification process is its reliance on self-reported information. The podcast points out that the MSC does not screen vessels against publicized lists of labor abuses, which allows companies associated with human trafficking and forced labor to benefit from the ecolabel. This creates a loophole where unethical practices can go unchecked, undermining the very purpose of the ecolabel. Andrew Lewin stresses that while the MSC is undertaking a monumental task in certifying fisheries globally, it must improve its standards and monitoring processes. The absence of on-board inspections and human rights observers means that the MSC is not adequately addressing the realities of forced labor in the fishing industry. Recommendations for Improvement To combat these issues, Oceana is advocating for world governments to adopt the Global Charter of Fisheries Transparency. This charter outlines essential policy priorities to improve fisheries management and address human rights abuses at sea. It includes measures such as collecting data on the conditions of fishing vessel crews and making this information publicly available while protecting personal identities. In the United States, Oceana is pushing for the expansion of the Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) to cover all seafood imports, as currently only 45% are monitored. This expansion would help ensure that all seafood production standards, including those related to forced labor, are enforced. Conclusion The podcast episode serves as a wake-up call for consumers and organizations alike. While ecolabels like the MSC aim to promote sustainable and ethical seafood consumption, the reality is that significant shortcomings exist in their monitoring and reporting processes. As consumers, it is crucial to remain informed and advocate for better practices within the seafood industry. The fight against forced labor in tuna fisheries is not just about protecting the ocean; it is also about safeguarding the rights and lives of the individuals who depend on these resources for their livelihoods.  

In this episode of "How to Protect the Ocean," host Andrew Lewin dives into the intricate world of fisheries management, focusing specifically on tuna fishing. Joined by Dr. Victor Restrepo from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), the discussion revolves around the recently released report titled "Snapshot of Large-Scale Tuna Per Seine Fishing Vessels." Andrew and Victor explore key topics such as the current state of tuna fishing, the number of fishing vessels in operation, and the countries they represent. Victor shares insights on the surprising stability in vessel numbers, expressing both concern over the lack of decrease and hope for future improvements in fishing practices. Tune in to learn what types of tuna are sustainable to eat and how we can all contribute to better ocean health through informed choices.

This stability indicates a balance between fishing capacity and resource availability, which is essential for sustainable fisheries management. Dr. Victor Restrepo, an expert in tuna fisheries management, noted that while the number of vessels has experienced slight fluctuations, there have been no significant increases or decreases. Over the past 12 years, the count has remained within the range of 640 to 670 vessels. This consistency is particularly noteworthy given the high operational costs associated with these large vessels, which can carry over 400 tons of tuna per trip and can cost between $30 to $40 million when fully equipped. Several factors contribute to the stability in vessel numbers: Economic Considerations: The substantial investment required to build and maintain these vessels means that potential operators must carefully weigh costs against expected returns from fishing, which may limit the number of new entrants into the industry. Resource Limitations: Tuna fisheries are governed by quotas and regulations established by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs). These regulations help ensure that fishing efforts do not exceed sustainable levels, maintaining a balance between the number of vessels and the available tuna stocks. Conservation Measures: Organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) play a vital role in promoting sustainable practices within the industry. The ISSF has implemented conservation measures that restrict the construction of new vessels unless older ones are scrapped, helping to control fishing capacity. Market Demand: While the demand for tuna, particularly in the sashimi market, remains high, there is an increasing preference for sustainably sourced products. This shift in consumer behavior encourages fishing companies to adopt sustainable practices, influencing their operational decisions regarding fleet size. Monitoring and Compliance: The presence of observers on purse seine vessels, especially in tropical tuna fisheries, ensures compliance with regulations and helps monitor bycatch. This oversight can deter illegal fishing practices and promote responsible management of tuna stocks. In summary, the relatively stable number of large-scale tuna purse seine fishing vessels reflects a complex interplay of economic, regulatory, and market factors. While this stability is a positive sign for sustainable fisheries management, ongoing efforts are necessary to ensure that tuna populations remain healthy and that fishing practices continue to evolve in response to environmental and market demands. Understanding Tuna Fisheries Management Tuna fisheries management is a complex and multifaceted issue involving various stakeholders, including scientists, fishing companies, processing companies, and regulatory bodies. In a recent episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, Dr. Victor Restrepo from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) provided valuable insights into the current state of tuna fisheries, the challenges they face, and the efforts being made to ensure sustainability. The Importance of Tuna Species Tuna is a significant fishery resource, comprising three main species of bluefin tuna and 23 stocks of major commercial tunas. Although bluefin tuna accounts for only 1% of the total catch, it generates 99% of the media attention due to its high market value, particularly in the sashimi market. An individual bluefin tuna can fetch prices as high as $70,000 to $100,000, leading to illegal fishing and overfishing in the past. However, since 2009, management practices have improved, and many stocks are showing signs of recovery. Fishing Methods and Bycatch Concerns The primary method for catching tuna is purse seining, where a large net encircles a school of fish, allowing for significant catches. While this method is efficient, it has raised concerns about bycatch, particularly in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, where dolphins often associate with tuna schools. The podcast highlighted the importance of distinguishing between different fishing practices and their impacts, noting that not all tuna fisheries face the same challenges. Regulatory Framework and Challenges Tuna fisheries are managed by Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs), which are responsible for setting quotas and regulations. However, a significant challenge arises from the fact that many vessels are authorized to fish in multiple RFMOs, complicating global management efforts. Dr. Restrepo expressed frustration over the lack of a unified system to manage fishing capacity across different regions, which can lead to overcapacity and increased fishing pressure. The Role of ISSF and Market Influence The ISSF plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable tuna fishing practices by collaborating with processing companies to implement science-driven conservation measures. These measures aim to reduce bycatch, limit the use of harmful fishing gear, and ensure that new vessels are not added without scrapping older ones. The podcast emphasized the importance of market demand in driving these changes, as processing companies are increasingly committed to sourcing tuna from sustainable fisheries. Consumer Awareness and Action One of the key takeaways from the episode is the role of consumers in promoting sustainable fishing practices. By becoming more knowledgeable about tuna fisheries and making informed purchasing decisions, consumers can support responsible fisheries and encourage better practices within the industry. Dr. Restrepo highlighted that education is the first step, and consumers can reward fisheries that are doing well while avoiding those that are not. Conclusion Tuna fisheries management is a complex issue that requires collaboration among various stakeholders, including scientists, regulatory bodies, and the fishing industry. While there have been significant improvements in management practices and the recovery of certain stocks, challenges remain, particularly regarding overcapacity and bycatch. Organizations like the ISSF are working to bridge the gap between science and industry, promoting sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and the economy. As consumers, we have the power to influence these practices through our choices, making it essential to stay informed and engaged in the conversation about tuna fisheries and ocean conservation. Consumer awareness and education play a crucial role in promoting sustainable fishing practices, particularly in the context of tuna fisheries. As highlighted in the podcast episode with Dr. Victor Restrepo, informed consumer choices can significantly impact the fishing industry by rewarding responsible fisheries and encouraging better management of tuna stocks. The Importance of Consumer Knowledge Dr. Restrepo emphasizes that education is the first step toward making informed decisions about seafood consumption. When consumers understand the complexities of tuna fishing, including the various species, fishing methods, and the environmental impacts associated with them, they are better equipped to choose sustainably sourced products. This knowledge empowers consumers to support fisheries that adhere to responsible practices, thereby incentivizing those fisheries to maintain sustainable operations. Rewarding Responsible Fisheries By opting for tuna products that are certified as sustainable or sourced from fisheries that follow best practices, consumers can create a demand for responsible fishing. This demand encourages fisheries to adopt better management strategies, such as reducing bycatch and adhering to quotas. As Dr. Restrepo notes, the involvement of processing companies that prioritize sustainability has led to significant changes in the industry. These companies often require their suppliers to meet specific conservation measures, which can include 100% observer coverage on fishing vessels, as seen in the Indian Ocean. Encouraging Better Management of Tuna Stocks The podcast also discusses the role of organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) in promoting science-driven management of tuna stocks. The ISSF works with processing companies to implement conservation measures that not only protect tuna populations but also enhance the overall health of marine ecosystems. When consumers support these initiatives through their purchasing decisions, they contribute to a larger movement that advocates for sustainable fisheries management. Conclusion In summary, consumer awareness and education are vital for fostering sustainable fishing practices. By making informed choices, consumers can reward fisheries that operate responsibly and encourage the adoption of better management practices for tuna stocks. As the podcast illustrates, the collective efforts of consumers, processing companies, and organizations like the ISSF can lead to meaningful change in the fishing industry, ensuring that tuna remains a viable resource for future generations.

When we consider family seafood dynasties, there's probably few as quintessentially South Australian or as diverse, as the Tuna fishing Stehr family from the West Coast seafood town of Port Lincoln.They have been fishing 50 plus years across a range of fisheries but tuna is in their blood and that love of the Southern Bluefin has been handed down generationally.Being the prodigal son of one of the inimitable Hagen Stehr, one of Australia's most innovative, determined and pioneering fishermen would be daunting for most, Marcus Stehr however has built on the family heritage adding his rare, natural gift for fishing to create one of the great fishing companies in Australia.https://www.stehrgroup.netFollow Fishtales, a Seafood Podcast on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/fishtalesseafoodpodcast/Follow John Susman https://www.instagram.com/fisheads/?hl=enFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/Follow Huck (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTShttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

Garon Mailman wanted to learn to fish for giant bluefin tuna. So he did. He went out in a 21 foot center console by himself and learned how to do it. And he did it well. Very well. And then he started posting videos to Youtube of him catching 400 lb tuna by himself in that tiny boat. And they were a hit. Now, after a stint on Wicked Tuna, Garon and fishing partner Dave Sjulander are among the most successful tuna anglers in New England. And they love every minute of it.

  How to Vertical Jig for Tunas, Snappers, Groupers, Wahoo, Amberjacks, Golden Tile Fish and Wahoo.  In this podcast I reveal new vertical jigging tips including a secret vertical jigging technique that I have not shared publicly on instagram or facebook. The new "secret technique" is guaranteed to catch you more Blackfin Tuna when you vertical jig the Islamorada Hump.  Here a few tips to help you get started or improve upon your vertical jigging game. My Jigging Set Up I use Shimano Twin Power 8000. It is an extremely light weight reel with awesome drag and ultra fast retrieve.  Perfect for my style of jigging. I prefer speed jigging. It is easy to do with the right equipment and its great work out.  Rods: Have Rods custom built for jigging that match your style. Rods need to be extremely light weight and built to match your style of vertical jigging.  I use rods built by Adrenaline Rods. You can visit www.adrenalinecustomfishingrods.com  There is so much information out there about jigging ones.  To keep it short and simple- Order one for Tuna Fishing and order one capable of handling a big Amberjack/Grouper. Do your home work. If you have questions about my rods just email me.  Terminal Tackle Set Up  I spool my reels used for jigging with 40 lb. braid line. The vertical jigs I use on my fishing charters perform at their best tied to 40 lb. braided line.  I double the braid line using a Spider Hitch knot.  I always make a double line line. This doubles the strength of braided line and allows me to target big Amberjacks using lighter line.  Using an Improved Bristol Knot, I connect top shot of Fluorocarbon to the braid double line. Connect your fluorocarbon leader to the solid ring on the jig using whatever knot you feel comfortable with. As I said in previous podcasts I do not offer terminal end knot recommendations. Tie the jig to solid steel ring using any knot you feel comfortable with. Also sharpen over the counter manufacture assist hooks before use.  Always and I mean always test your knot, especially if you are targeting large fish. Sometimes you get a bad spool of fluorocarbon or you hit a bad spot on the braid.  Testing knots will catch this. I always and I mean always test my knots no matter how much confidence I have in them.  I always double check my work and the manufactures work. It has saved the day more than once. I guess old habits are hard to break.  Vertical Jigging can provide non-stop action. When I arrive at a vertical jig spot, I like to take some time to figure out the drift. Prior to starting the day. I review my past drift tracks on the the fishing spots by using historical track logs saved by date in my Atlas Track database. This saves me a lot of time. I check the wind direction in the morning then review a couple possible drift patterns based on what I “think” the current maybe doing.  I have to be mentally prepared and having historical drift patterns based on wind and current direction saves me a lot time. I know now which spots are worth fishing and which spots I should avoid based on historical data. Once I  determine which way our drift will carry us across the spot, I calculate our drift speed. After calculating the drift, we start 100 yards ahead of the fishing spot we plan on jigging.  Once I hit a point of reference on the GPS that I marked (as a drop point).  I then let the angler drop vertical jig. Now with the Seakeeper, I turn the boat broadside so two anglers can safely jig. One guy can safely jig off the bow and one guy can jig off the back near the helm.  Dialing In For bottom dwelling fish such as snappers and groupers. The angler will let the jig stay on the bottom for a few seconds, bounce it off the bottom 3-4 times that will give the fish a chance to investigate and at times the fish will pick it up and eat the jig. Think like a spear diver when it comes to jigging the bottom around wrecks. Spear divers brush the bottom of the ocean surface with their hands generating clouds of sediment and religiously use underwater lights and flashers to attract fish such as grouper, wahoo, snapper and cobia into their kill zone.  The jig bouncing off the seafloor creates vibratory sounds and “clouds” of sediment/sand.  This action draws the attention of big fish from hundreds of yards of way.If the angler does not draw a strike he will then lift the jig 5-10 ft. and repeat the process. If the bottom dwelling fish do not cooperate, the angler starts working the jig higher up into the water column. Lifting the jig 30-50 ft. then dropping it back down. Big Amberjacks roam this area. If the angler does not hook up he must either increase or decrease the jigging speed. Vertical Jigging can be extremely exciting, but it is takes a lot of work and practice to get the technique correct. The angler must be in good shape when it comes to vertical jigging as it requires a lot of stamina and cardio. Once you feel a fish strike a jig from 300ft down, I can almost guarantee that no matter how tired you are, you will be running on pure fishing Adrenaline! You also have to get a rhythm down…let the reel do the work. The Shimano Twin Power does the trick for me. It is expensive but man can that thing jig up the Tunas with little work.  It is ultra light weight and do not tire out.  Fish Get Picky..Truth I am going to use the Amberjack as an example. Amberjacks do not eat just anything and are not always hungry!  The Amberjack will shut down and not eat due to fishing pressure so you have to use your brain to get them to eat. I have done several side by side tests over a two year period when I owned Jimyjigs USA and found the Amberjacks to be one “cranky” fish.  Anyone can catch them when they are biting, but when they are not biting that is when I challenge you to go to the next level and figure it out. A commercial Amberjack fisherman will tell you the same thing, they get “cranky” at times and you gotta work for them.  Yes, I believe color does matter with Amberjacks and vertical jigs. My secret jig is a chartreuse jig with a blue eye, The Blue around the eye is secret technique used by commercial Amberjack fisherman in Mexico. When fishing the Islamorada Hump, the fish tend to really key in on smaller jigs that highly reflective in silver color, on dark days the jigs that have super glow out fish the ones that do not. Purple, Blues, Silver, Golds and Chartreuse jigs tend to work very well on the Islamorada Hump.  Some days color just does not matter, nor the type of jig you use.  I have my best luck with Tunas using a silver colored 80-100 g jigs on days when the current is light. On days when it is ripping I have to beef up the jig size to 150 g-225 g jigs and even carry an ample supply of 300gram jigs.   Look around you especially when you are fishing the Islamorada Hump and check out what the Tunas are eating. You can see the bait fish in the water on most days. Try to match the Hatch.  Bait Strip Secret-Add Some Flair to the Your Vertical Jig Something new that I have not talked about yet or shared with anyone until now is my secret to catching Blackfins on the hump using Bait Strips. I attach a holographic bait strip to the vertical  jig hook and then I tie small cable tie on the hook to keep it in place so it does not tear off the hook.  As the jig falls this silver holographic artificial jig strips gets crush! Like I said earlier Tunas on the humps, especially if the fleet of boat is tossing out pilchards for live chum, get turned on to silver/white a silver and light color. In the sunlight this silver color down deep catches light reflection… not to mention the action of the bait strip attached to the jig is crazy! You have to purchase a pack of bait strips and try this out this winter. Its awesome!  Check out the photo my favorite vertical jig rigged with bait strip in my show notes.   Fluorocarbon Leaders Matters when it Comes to Vertical Jigging I always and I means always use Fluorocarbon for the abrasion resistance and the stealth. Fishing is mental, I have confidence in every jig I put down with a Fluorocarbon Leader.  Use 30 lb.-40 lb. for Black Fin Tuna and Mutton Snappers Use 80 lb. -100 lb. for Amberjack and Big Groupers.  Just telling you like it is even if you don’t like it. Thanks for listening now got get yourself some vertical jigs.  The best vertical jigging spot in South Florida is the Islamorada Hump.   

Fishing for Albacore Tuna off the Oregon and Washington coast. Fishing for Albacore Tuna is a newer fishery for Northwest anglers, but it is growing every year.  For those that want to learn how to catch these tuna Del Stephens is your guy.  He has been very involved in the development of and all events related to the tuna fishery.  He has a TV show called Canyon Warriors and runs the website www.tunadogoffshore.com. He also share his knowledge in seminars and a book he wrote on Albacore Tune called "The Dark Side".  You can find a lot of information at his website including his blog, seminar calendar, and how to buy his book.  Del has spent a lot of time chasing tuna all over the world and is a wealth of knowledge so be thankful he is so willing to share his knowledge with the rest of us.  Enjoy the podcast.
