Tuna Talks is a global dialogue on sustainable sourcing and the resilience of Indonesian tuna presented by Tuna Consortium. The Indonesia Tuna Consortium (TC) was established in 2019 to ensure healthy, sustainable tuna fisheries while safeguarding the livelihoods of Indonesia’s coastal fishing communities. As the world’s second- largest tuna-producing nation, Indonesia’s fisheries are critical for global supply chains.
The Consortium aligns government, industry, and NGOs to develop and implement science-based Tuna Harvest Strategies—proven tools to secure long-term sustainability, operational efficiency, and profitability in tuna fisheries across Indonesia Archipelagic Waters (FMAs 713, 714, and 715).
