Phase 1: Building the Foundation
We focused on stakeholder engagement, partnership building, and establishing a shared foundation for collaboration across government, industry, researchers, and civil society organisations.
Welcome to
Indonesia Tuna Consortium
We are a multi-stakeholder platform supporting implementation of Indonesia’s Tuna Harvest Strategy through collaboration across science, policy, markets, and communities.
Why Tuna Matters
Tuna plays a vital role in Indonesia’s coastal economies, food security, and global seafood supply chains. As one of the world’s leading tuna-producing nations, Indonesia has an important opportunity to demonstrate how fisheries can be managed sustainably while continuing to support livelihoods and economic growth.
Achieving this requires collaboration across government, industry, researchers, civil society organisations, and fishing communities. It also requires ongoing dialogue to share knowledge, align priorities, and explore practical solutions to complex fisheries challenges.
This is where Tuna Talks comes in.
Tuna Talks
Tuna Talks is the flagship dialogue platform of the Indonesia Tuna Consortium.
We bring together government, industry, researchers, civil society organisations, fishing communities, and seafood stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping Indonesia’s tuna fisheries.
From fisheries governance and traceability to responsible sourcing, market access, and coastal livelihoods, Tuna Talks creates space for informed conversations that support sustainable tuna fisheries management.
By connecting people, ideas, and experiences, Tuna Talks helps turn dialogue into action.
Tuna Talks is part of a broader effort led by the Indonesia Tuna Consortium.

The Indonesia Tuna Consortium
The Indonesia Tuna Consortium (TC) is a multi-stakeholder platform supporting implementation of Indonesia’s Tuna Harvest Strategy through collaboration across science, policy, markets, and communities.
Coordinated by Resonance, we bring together Masyarakat dan Perikanan Indonesia (MDPI), Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara (YKAN), Marine Change, Fair Trade USA (FTUSA), and Yayasan IPNLF Indonesia (YII).
Together, we contribute expertise across fisheries science, fisheries management, traceability, market development, responsible sourcing, and community engagement.
We support the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) by strengthening fisheries data systems, providing technical input, and facilitating coordination across stakeholders involved in tuna fisheries governance.
Our Approach
We support sustainable tuna fisheries management across Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) 713, 714, and 715 in Indonesia, including Sulawesi, Maluku, North Maluku, Papua, and surrounding archipelagic waters.
The Consortium supports:
- Harvest Strategy implementation
- Fisheries data and traceability systems
- Fisheries institutions and coordination
- Market engagement and responsible sourcing
- Community participation and livelihood resilience
We work across government agencies, industry, researchers, civil society organizations, and fishing communities to help strengthen science-based fisheries management, healthy tuna stocks, and transparent supply chains.
From Policy to Practice
Our work has evolved through multiple phases.
Phase 2: Developing the Harvest Strategy
We supported the development and adoption of Indonesia's Tuna Harvest Strategy, initiated by the Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and developed with partners. This phase focused on strengthening the scientific and technical foundations needed to support long-term sustainable fisheries management.
Phase 3: Turning Policy into Action
Today, we support implementation of the Harvest Strategy through stronger governance systems, improved fisheries data, traceability, market engagement, and community participation.
Working across FMAs 713, 714, and 715, we collaborate with government agencies, industry associations, researchers, universities, and coastal communities to help translate policy into practice.
