IMMP first established the definition and standards of Dolphin Safe in 1990 to mean tuna caught without deliberately encircling any dolphins with tuna nets during the entire trip of the tuna vessel. No encirclement for the entire trip means no mixing of Dolphin Safe and dolphin-deadly tuna onboard the vessel. How is dolphin friendly tuna […]

Currently, fishing operations are catching about 80,000 dolphins every year per 1,000 tonnes of tuna and the study estimates that 174 dolphins on average per that 1,000 tonnes are getting trapped in gillnets. “Bycatch is one of the main threats, if not the main threat to world-wide dolphin populations,” says Mustika.
