The first shipment of handline-caught tuna with catch certificates was exported from the Philippines to the European market recently. The fresh and chilled tuna loins were caught in Mindoro by registered boats operating in legalized areas using highly selective fishing gear.
The catch certification system was developed and facilitated by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and approved by the EU earlier this year. The traceability system was also developed through a project partnership with the WWF, the local government, and the private sector as a response to the stringent catch-certification policy imposed by the EU in light of growing consumer demand for sustainable seafood products. With the system, it is now possible to trace back the tuna loins to the fisher, the boat and the exact location of the fish aggregating device where the fish was caught.
Tuna in the Coral Triangle, which spans the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste, adds considerably to the economies of many developing nations and supports the livelihoods of millions of people in this region and beyond. The Coral Triangle contains spawning and nursery grounds and migratory routes for commercially valuable tuna species such as bigeye, yellowfin, skipjack and albacore, producing more than 40% of the total catch for the Western Central Pacific region and representing more than 20% of the total global catch.
