fisheries improvement efforts in their respective locations. WWF and JARING
Nusantara have already facilitated market links between 8 local responsible
seafood producers with seafood business entities.

frequently caught as bycatch (78%).
128 longline tuna boat are covered by observers in period 2006-2015
1600 crew trained sofar to handle sea turtle bycatch
602 sea turtle are handled with 96% released in good condition

Seafood Savers
In FY15, four seafood business companies have signed a cooperation
agreement to join Seafood Savers, an initiative by WWF-Indonesia to support
government regulation in achieving a sustainable fisheries. To date, Seafood
