dc.descriptionThis report presents the findings of a mission that examined the requirements for developing and establishing an eco-certification scheme that is specific to a group of tuna vessel operators and fish processors working in the western Indian Ocean region. “Eco-certification” is assurance that fishery products are from fisheries that have functional harvest rules that protect the target fish resource as well as the environment. Obtaining eco-certification will be challenging as currently there are few effective harvest rules – and to establish such a system requires consensus among the many countries that participate in tuna fishing in the Indian Ocean. This report discusses the lack of harvest rules and other obstacles to eco-certification. Options are presented for progressing the situation, and a long- term plan for eco-certification is proposed.
