American company Tristan International positively
concluded Friend of the Sea audit for yellowfin and bigeye tuna.
Derived products can carry the Friend of the Sea sustainability seal of
approval.
Tristan
International is supplied by Transmarina’s boats operating in the
Southeast Pacific Ocean (FAO Area 87). Tuna is considered to be not
overexploited in the mentioned fishing area according to the latest
stock assessments. Fishermen use only long lines and purse seines. No
protected areas are affected by the fishing activity. None of the by-caught species are included in the IUCN Red list of endangered species.
The fishery activities are monitored by the IATTC (Inter-America Tropical Tuna Commission).
A
comprehensive traceability system is in place to guarantee that all
Friend of the Sea requirements are fulfilled and that no mixing occurs
between certified and not certified origins.
“We share the same sustainability vision of Friend of the Sea program”, remarks Mr. Ari D. Dorfsman, Vice President/Operations of Tristan International. “Friend
of the Sea has become the leading sustainability standard for many
species and this recognition provides an important added value for our
products”.
