The International Pole and Line Foundation

The International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF) champions sustainable one-by-one tuna fisheries—using pole-and-line, handline, and troll methods—to protect marine ecosystems and support coastal livelihoods. By connecting small-scale fishers to markets and helping reduce their environmental impact, IPNLF works to make responsibly caught tuna more accessible while safeguarding the ocean and fishing communities. Aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, IPNLF advocates for inclusive, equitable governance that ensures local voices are central in global fisheries management.
