Asociacion Atuneros Cañeros (Dakar Tuna) was formed in November 2009 and is currently made up of eight tuna boats, focused in Senegal and fishing by pole-and-line. Its tuna is caught exclusively by this traditional one-by-one method – responsible and sustainable fishing, seeking to involve the vital fishing communities.

Members of Dakar Tuna provide pole-and-line tuna according to EU standards and the conservation and sustainability policies of the countries in which it operates.
