Our partners
We’re proud of our connections with partners who share our commitment to this industry and our environment.
Like us, these companies and organisations are looking to a future where our commercial sustainability aligns with our responsibilities to each other and the ocean.
COLTO
The Coalition of Legal Toothfish Operators (COLTO) was founded in 2003 by legal industry members to eliminate Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing of Toothfish, and to ensure the long term sustainability of Toothfish resources, and the rich and critical biodiversity of the southern oceans.
At that time, IUU catches were double the legal catches of Toothfish – mainly being illegally taken from within national waters (Exclusive Economic Zones). Through the combined efforts of CCAMLR, Flag States, Port States, conservation NGOs and industry, those levels of IUU fishing inside national EEZs have been virtually zero since 2005.
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) was established by international convention in 1982 with the objective of conserving Antarctic marine life.
This was in response to increasing commercial interest in Antarctic krill resources, a keystone component of the Antarctic ecosystem and a history of over-exploitation of several other marine resources in the Southern Ocean.
ORCA SAVER
The Orca Saver is a solution which has been designed specifically to keep killer whales at a safe distance from longline vessels.
The Orca Saver uses (ultrasonic) sound signals, which are emitted through underwater transducers in an omnidirectional manner. The device is powered by the onboard power supply on the fishing vessel and needs to be place under water by a crane, when killer whales interfere with the lines. Sound signals are updated continuously, making it possible to adapt to specific regions or circumstances. The electronics inside the Orca Saver are developed by Stanmax Electronics.
