Overview
What is a Completed FIP?
Completed FIPs are those that have independent verification that they have achieved their environmental objectives and/or graduated to MSC full assessment or other program assessment. Completed FIPs no longer report on their environmental performance but may choose to voluntarily report on their social performance.
Explanation of Completion: The fishery achieved MSC certification.
Since 2013, Anova USA/ Fishing & Living has been involved in the Cook Islands Fishery Improvement Project for the Cook Islands pelagic longline fishery, as a co-operating partner with Luen Thai Fishing Venture. The FIP covers all vessels that are participating in the Cook Islands longline fishery that are targeting western and central Pacific yellowfin tuna. The FIP covers all yellowfin tuna caught both within the Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and on the adjacent high seas. Vessels in this fishery primarily fish within the Cook Islands EEZ and about 5% of fishing effort occurs on the high seas adjacent to the Cook Islands EEZ. Participants of this FIP currently include the Ministry of Marine Resources of the Cook Islands (MMR), Luen Thai Fishing Ventures and Anova USA/ Fishing & Living.
