The Project “Sustainable
Management of Tuna Fisheries and Biodiversity Conservation in the Areas Beyond National
Jurisdiction” is a continuation of an earlier project (2014-2019) with the same name (“ABNJ
Tuna Project”). The Project objective is to achieve responsible, efficient, and sustainable tuna
production and biodiversity conservation in the ABNJ in face of a changing environment. This
is a GEF-funded project, implemented by FAO and executed by the IOTC through a Project
Management Unit. Activities are carried out by the partners of the project and most of the
contracts are in place and the following activities have started.
