HOME ABOUT US MEDIA SEAFOOD SOURCES PRODUCTS INSPIRATION CONTACT FISHING & LIVING For our Yellow Fin Tuna from Indonesia, we work with MDPI, a local NGO, to support small scale fisheries to become MSC certified in our Fishing & Living Program. Our suppliers use handlines, a selective method that reduces the impact on the environment and respects the traditional livelihood of the fishermen. The Fishing & Living Program (F&L) was started in 2009 by Anova Seafood BV and has since then developed into a multistakeholder partnership with the goal to become MSC certified. It focuses on small scale fisheries to organize the catch of yellowfin tuna in a sustainable way. For Anova’s products, only hand lines are used to catch the tuna. The handline method is perceived to be one of the least impacting fishing methods: it is highly selective, has little discard and targets mainly adult and subadult fish. The gear has no damaging impact to the sea floor and very likely does not cause ecosystem shifts. Various industry representatives, NGO’s and fisheries are involved in the program. The program strives to achieve 2 goals: Promoting sustainable fisheries through improved fishing practices Providing enhanced living conditions for the communities engaged in the industry. MDPI (an independent Indonesian NGO) was established in 2013 by F&L Indonesia and is the implementer in the field for F&L handline and Pole and Line. IPNLF (International Pole & Line Foundation) has supported the formation of the industry association AP2HI and helped develop a fishery improvement plan for the Pole and Line fisheries. AP2HI is the client and primary driver for the project formed by industry to act as a singular voice for the pole and line and handline industry. Together we work to strive and become MSC certified by 2016. The F&L project is categorized as Stage 4 FIP by SFP. In the latest WWF assessment in cooperation with Good Fish Foundation, the F&L yellowfin handline tuna is categorized as "Good choice".
