October 3, 2025 — Three fishery monitoring organizations – the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), Global Fishing Watch (GFW), and the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) – are collaborating to combine their databases to improve transparency in the tuna supply chain. The goal, the organizations said, is to give tuna buyers access to information, including vessel by vessel bycatch data and observer reports, in one place.
The project, which will draw on SFP’s buyer transparency databases, FishSource and Seafood Metrics, ISSF’s Proactive Vessel Register (PVR) and Vessels in Other Sustainability Initiatives (VOSI), and GFW’s Vessel Viewer and Marine Manager, is funded by grants from the Walmart Foundation.
