The Southern Africa Sustainable Tuna Association (SASTUNA) has been certified to the #MSCstandard!
 
🗣 We asked Adrian Smith, Chair of SASTUNA, for his thoughts: 
 
“SASTUNA represents the entire albacore fleet. It is about providing a service to the fishers, so each boat owner can sell their fish as certified sustainable.” 
 
📺 Watch to discover their journey from the earlier #FishForGood project, through the MSC Improvement Program to achieving #MSCcertification - a multi-stakeholder effort indeed!

🌍 Nachhaltigkeit braucht Zusammenhalt: Die Krabbenfischerei steht auf dem Prüfstand 🦐 Einige Fischer steigen aus der #MSC-Zertifizierung aus, um sich nicht an nachhaltige Fangbeschränkungen zu halten. Dieses Vorgehen untergräbt den Managementplan, der den Krabbenbestand schützt, und gefährdet die Zukunft der gesamten Fischerei. Wir stehen an einem Wendepunkt: Ohne konsequentes Engagement aller Beteiligten droht eine Erosion der nachhaltigen Bewirtschaftung – mit gravierenden Folgen für Meeresökosysteme, Fischer und die Wirtschaft. Unser Appell: Unterstützen Sie nur MSC-zertifizierte Krabben. Setzen Sie ein Zeichen für Nachhaltigkeit und helfen Sie, die Grundlage für eine zukunftsfähige Fischerei zu bewahren. Gemeinsam können wir Überfischung verhindern und Verantwortung übernehmen – für die Meere, die Fischer und die nächsten Generationen. 🌊💙 #MSCstandard #Krabbenfischerei #Überfischungstoppen

🎇💙 From everyone at the MSC, we wish you a happy and healthy new year! We look forward to working with you in the new year. #SustainableSeafood #SustainableFishing

Sustainable fishing = Sustained livelihoods 🙌🧑🧑🧒🧒   Earlier this month the Southern Africa Sustainable Tuna Association (SASTUNA) achieved MSC certification. 📺 Watch: Formed as a not-for-profit by three South African marketing companies trading in South Atlantic albacore, SASTUNA’s goal is to standardise local tuna trading and to ensure inclusivity and reputational gain for all stakeholders involved within the South Africa albacore tuna pole and line fishery known for its traditional, labour-intensive way of fishing.   Though small, the fishery supports 130 independent boat owners, their crews and the fisher families.

📢🎅🏽 News Update! Santa has been caught on camera for the first time eating seafood for his Christmas dinner instead of turkey - and not just any seafood, #SustainableSeafood! Santa values kindness, happiness and creating a better, more compassionate world so it makes sense that he supports #SustainableFishing So like Santa, choose sustainable seafood caught by fishers that take care of the ocean.
