Australia is known to have sustainable tuna fisheries. In June 2020, Friend of the Sea Director and Founder Paolo Bray spoke with Claire Webber, Research and Liaison Officer at ASBTIA about how the Australian SBT industry align their values with the principles upheld by Friend of the Sea (FoS). Friend of the Sea is an independent global certifier of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture activities.  Following an audit process, ASBTIA and its member companies became accredited by FoS in 2015.

You can watch the interview on the FoS Youtube Channel and learn more about sustainability of the SBT fishery and the certification under Friend of the Sea on our Sustainability of SBT page.
