English Subtitle added automatically


Tuna fisheries around the world use synthetic FADs as fishing tools. The fleet of the founding companies of TUNACONS starts in 2022 having replaced 20% of its fleet with 100% plant-based eco-friendly prototypes.
Although there are several initiatives in the use of degradable materials in fleets in other oceans, this formal commitment to the use of EcoFADs in TUNACONS makes us leaders in the management and use of FADs made from 100% plant-based materials and marks a milestone that confirms the fishing industry's path towards more sustainable practices.
The research on degradable plant-based materials has been in development for four years now. The TUNACONS technical team has carried out multiple resistance tests on various materials, the current one being a vegetable fiber grown in Ecuador, called manila hemp or abaca, which is more resistant to the alkalinity of seawater.
This fibre is used to make fabrics and ropes that hold the other elements of the plantation, which are wooden canes and balsa wood, differentiating it from any other ecological prototype as it is the only one that is 100% made of biodegradable materials of vegetable origin.
The next steps in the process will be to monitor the ECOFADs deployed to analyse their resistance and catch levels, bringing the possibility of further increasing their use.
At tunacons, we work together for a healthy marine ecosystem.
