Indonesia is a global leader in tuna fisheries, the world’s largest producer of tuna, accounting for at least 15 percent of global output. Most of this catch is produced by small-scale fishers, who make up about 97 percent of Indonesia’s tuna fishing fleets across the country\u2019s 17,000 islands. Indonesia\u2019s tuna fisheries could serve as a model for sustainable and equitable management, supporting local coastal communities and food security, while also satisfying global demand for high-quality tuna products.<\/p>\n
This session, hosted by the Indonesia Tuna Consortium \u2013 a coalition of five organizations dedicated to coordinated fisheries management \u2013 will examine how Indonesia is creating a sustainable and equitable fisheries model that empowers fishers and coastal communities, while also aligning with conservation goals and global standards for sustainability and product quality. \u00a0Representatives from Indonesia\u2019s tuna industry, government, and non-profits will showcase their collaborative efforts to support fishing communities, conserve tuna stocks, and meet the growing demand for both sustainable and ethically sourced tuna.<\/p>\n
Speakers will share how they are building fisher capacity, improving livelihoods, and increasing product quality, along with how digital innovations, such as AI tools, e-logbooks, and traceability systems, are enhancing data collection from catch to export and supporting the sustainable management of fisheries. Indonesia’s collective and community-based fisheries management exemplifies a sustainable approach that promotes social equity and strengthens supply chain resilience, aligning with the growing demands of socially aware consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"raw":"Indonesia is a global leader in tuna fisheries, the world's largest producer of tuna, accounting for at least 15 percent of global output.
