Grenada pelagic longline, troll and dropline Atlantic Ocean yellowfin and bigeye fishery. Marine Stewardship Council pre-assessment report

This report presents information on the Grenada tuna fisheries, the components and results of the pre-assessment itself, and recommendations to improve the fisheries’ status in relation to the Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries Standard. Grenada’s yellowfin and bigeye tuna fisheries were assessed against the MSC standard for sustainable fisheries. This standard encompasses three distinct principles: Principle 1 –sustainability of the stocks; Principle 2 – ecosystem impacts; and Principle 3 – effective management. Each Principle in turn comprises a set of performance indicators (PI), of which there are 28 in total. Overall, the pre-assessment identified a significant number of shortcomings that would currently preclude the fishery from achieving conformity with the MSC Fisheries Standard.
