International Pole & Line Foundation

International Pole & Line Foundation IPNLF works to develop, support and promote socially and environmentally responsible pole-and-line and hand-line tuna fisheries around the world.

The International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) works to develop, support and promote socially and environmentally responsible pole-and-line and hand-line tuna fisheries around the world. IPNLFโ€™s ambition is to contribute to thriving coastal fisheries, including the people, businesses and seas connected with them. As a hub for sustainably-minded organisations, we use the influence of the market to forge change through practical fishery projects and stakeholder cooperation. IPNLF membership is open to organisations involved in the one-by-one tuna supply chain, from fishing associations to suppliers, to retailers. Allied with our members, we demonstrate the value of one-by-one tuna to consumers, policy-makers and throughout the supply chain. We work across science, policy and the seafood sector, using an evidence-based, solutions-focused approach with guidance from our Scientific & Technical Advisory Committee and Board of Trustees. IPNLF was officially registered in the United Kingdom in 2012 (Charity 1145586), with a branch office in London, The Netherlands, the Maldives and a staff presence in Indonesia.

Safety at sea starts long before fishers leave the shore.

For the first time, fishers and their families in this remote corner of Maluku came together for a health and safety festival โ€” 300 people, learning skills that could one day save a life at sea.

Women were trained alongside the fishers. Not as an afterthought, but as a central part of the programme.

"To be able to handle injuries myself, I feel very happy and relieved." โ€” Ibu Lutna, wife of a local fisher.

Thank you to the International Fund for Fisher Safety (IFFS) for making this possible. Full story in our bio.

Join our online event: from human rights risk assessments to action.

Human rights risks in the seafood sector are increasingly visible. But identifying risk is only step one.

Join us for a 60-minute online panel exploring how businesses can move human rights due diligence beyond box-ticking and into systemic, lasting action. Register using the link in the bio.

We'll cover:
- What compliance really means, moving human rights due diligence (HRDD) beyond audits into supply chain-wide approaches
- What suppliers and fishers each need to build genuine capacity and prevent human rights infringements
- Tools and approaches beyond audit-based compliance, illustrated with real case studies from across the sector

Speakers:
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Rachel Munns, Head of Sustainability, World Wise Foods (UK)
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Birgitte Krogh-Poulsen, Independent Consultant (Denmark)
๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Mohamad Abdi Suhufan, Expert Advisor to the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries / National Coordinator, Destructive Fishing Watch (Indonesia)
