Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)

Learn more about an exciting research project led by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), and being conducted in partnership with the University of Alaska Southeast and the Marine Environmental Research Association (AIMM). This study is utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, to monitor the behavior and movement of dolphin calves and their mothers during tuna purse-seine fishing operations. Watch the video for insights into the objectives of this project and cutting-edge technology that our scientific team is using!

🤝 Strengthening Cooperation: WCPFC & Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) Working Together for Sustainable Fisheries 🌍🌊🐟 At day six of the 20th Scientific Committee (SC20) meeting in Manila, we want to recognize the strong and ongoing cooperation between the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) and the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). Together, we’re advancing science 📊 and collaboration 🤝 to ensure sustainable fisheries management across the Pacific. Our partnership with IATTC is crucial in tackling shared challenges, from managing highly migratory fish stocks like tuna 🐟 to addressing the impacts of climate change 🌡️ on our marine ecosystems 🌍. By sharing data 📈, research 🧬, and best practices 📚, we’re able to develop comprehensive strategies that benefit the entire Pacific Ocean region 🌊. At SC20, this collaboration is more important than ever as we discuss innovative approaches 💡 to conservation 🌱, resource management 📑, and the protection of marine life 🐠. Our united efforts are paving the way for a healthier 💪, more sustainable 🌏 Pacific Ocean for generations to come. 🌊🐟 #SC20 #WCPFC #IATTC #FisheriesManagement #SustainableFisheries #OceanConservation #PacificFisheries #Collaboration
