The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) is a global partnership among leaders in science, the tuna industry and WWF, the world's leading conservation organization. The Foundation is focused on science-based initiatives for the long-term conservation and sustainable use of tuna stocks, reducing bycatch and promoting ecosystem health. ISSF has three distinct lines of approach – applied science, direct industry action and advocacy. Our Mission: To undertake science-based initiatives for the long-term conservation and sustainable use of tuna stocks, reducing bycatch and promoting ecosystem health. Our Vision: • Work with Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to achieve their objectives of conservation of tuna stocks and their ecosystems; • Employ sound science for attaining maximum sustainable yields of targeted tuna stocks; • Strive to eliminate illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) tuna catching; • Provide for the health and care of the marine ecosystem; • Facilitate use of the precautionary approach; • Minimize bycatch, discards, and abandoned gear; • Collect and exchange data to promote better scientific understanding of tuna stocks; • Support certification programs that meet the 2005 eco-labeling guidelines of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
