ISSF Skippers Workshops bring tuna fishers together with marine scientists for participatory sessions — at key fishing ports worldwide — to share ideas and information on best practices to reduce bycatch.
​
Fishers’ workshop attendance helps tuna vessels — and the companies that purchase, process, trade, or market their tuna — to better meet certain sustainability goals and international market standards.
For ISSF participating companies and vessels on the ProActive Vessel Register, skippers workshop attendance also meets the requirement for ISSF conservation measure 3.4.
