US Leads Sustainable Tuna Fisheries Efforts in Eastern Pacific

The United States has taken a bold step in leading sustainable tuna fisheries efforts in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. At the annual Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission meeting, the US delegation prioritized American interests by enhancing conservation efforts and strengthening monitoring programs. This move is expected to benefit American fishermen and boost conservation. Additionally, NOAA Fisheries is involved in other projects such as mapping Alaska's wild kelp beds and hosting education programs for students to promote marine conservation.
