Benefiting from Innovations in Sustainable and Equitable Management of Fisheries on Trans-boundary Tuna’s in the Coral Triangle and Western Pacific (BESTTuna)

Recognising the innovative nature of market-based governance arrangements, the BESTTuna programme explores whether and how they provide adequate incentives to adopt sustainable fishing practices and that reduce pressure on tuna stocks.

About BESTTuna

The programme will focus on:
The ecology and fisheries of the three tuna species in their interaction with Fish Aggregating Devices, the composition, behavior and interests of different fishing fleets, the incentive structure and economic and social relations of related market actors and the response of state and intergovernmental fisheries management arrangements to new market-based mechanisms.
