Pevasa becomes first tuna vessel owner to obtain responsible fishing certificate
(SPAIN, 7/19/2017)
The fishing fleet of Pevasa Group (Pesquería Vasco Montañesa SA), a founder of the Basque-Galician project Atunlo, has become the first in the world to obtain the certificate of Responsible Fishing Tuna (UNE 195006) for its good practices in the control of the fishing activity.
To the group, this achievement is a recognition of its excellence in management, sustainability, social conditions and safety at work.
The responsible tuna fishing certificate covers all the activities carried out by the tuna purse-seine fleet, from the control of fishing activity, through the implementation of good practices such as voluntarily taking observers onboard as well as social and safety conditions in ships.
This certificate strengthens the leadership position of Pevasa fleet in the pursuit of responsible fishing for tropical tuna, and is part of the Sustainable Development Objective 14 of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
Regulation UNE 195006 was developed by AENOR, together with the General Secretariat of Fisheries and the Spanish Freezer Tuna Producers Organization, and is considered the new reference in terms of sustainable fishing. This new rule makes it possible to group the best fleet practices and establishes the desirable reference level for other tuna fleets in the world.
