Pacific Island Tuna was developed to eliminate illegal, unregulated, and underreported (IUU) fishing, reduce bycatch of at-risk species, improve fair labor practices, and support community-based conservation. In doing so, our goal is to improve retailer, food service provider and restaurant operational and cost visibility, influence, and supply chain trust through long-term, transparent relationships.

ABOUT US

In its essence, Pacific Island Tuna provides strategic sourcing and cooperative purchasing of sustainably harvested tuna for third parties (i.e., commercial retailers, like Walmart). PIT’s best-in-class sustainability standards and business model reduces bycatch of juvenile tuna and at-risk species including marine mammals, sharks and turtles, improves fair labor practices, and drives sustained funding to community-based conservation projects in Pacific Island nations.

OUR MISSION

When nature thrives, we do, too. It's that spirit that drove us to create Pacific Island Tuna with the belief that we could create new tuna fishing practices that respect the needs of nature, of the tuna we depend on, while responsibly delivering tuna to consumers.

We are a cooperative of Pacific Island Nations based in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, at the center of one of the world's foremost sustainable fisheries. Tuna is both an economically and culturally important product to Pacific Island communities, and our cooperative model ensures that as Pacific Island Tuna succeeds, so will those communities. 100% of our profits go directly to community improvement, marine conservation, and climate change resilience projects.
