SOURCING DATA AND SUPPORTING A SUSTAINABLE OCEAN.
With our team of science advisers and our hands-on approach, we will collect and source real-time data to gain an accurate understanding of Atlantic bluefin tuna.
A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT FOR A GLOBAL CAUSE.
An inadequate scientific understanding of Atlantic bluefin tuna at the policy level has long frustrated fishery stakeholders. Despite advances made by independent researchers since the early nineties, little improvement has been seen. We are here to change this. Our research program will create a lasting, positive impact on the Atlantic bluefin tuna resource and related fisheries.
Due to the nature of fishery management, user groups are often pitted against each other because of the politics of how quota is distributed. But these historically disparate groups throughout the US and Canada are linked together by a common bond: the desire to improve the scientific understanding and management of Atlantic bluefin tuna. We strive to encourage the unification of various stakeholders in order to achieve our ambitious mission.
Help collect Atlantic bluefin tuna data
If you fish for bluefin, you can participate in our Tissue Sampling PiloT Project to build an independent DNA bank to inform future management
Join in and ‘Tag a Tiny’ bluefin.
This cooperative tagging program for juvenile bluefin tuna was started in 2006 helps identify migration paths and habitats of juvenile Atlantic bluefin tuna.
