The simple fixes that have saved the lives of sea lions and turtles
A perpendicular metal bar at the opening of a rock lobster trap is a matter of life and death for baby sea lions. 'It shows how you can do simple things to work with the environment and fish sustainably,' says Fedele Camarda, a fourth-generation rock lobster fisher from Fremantle in Western Australia. 'The problem was that, in areas where there was a sea lion population, the pups would go in for the bait and they'd get trapped. They wouldn't be able to get back out and, obviously, there'd be mortality associated.' This did not happen with adult sea lions because they could not fit inside the lobster pot. The metal bar was a simple fix to prevent the pups from getting in as well. Camarda's family business is part of the Western Rock Lobster Fishery, the first in the world to be certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council, or MSC, back in 2000. The fishery has also shifted from traditional woven pots to traps with larger gaps at the bottom so fish and undersize lobsters will fall out, and uses weighted ropes to attach the pots to floats to ensure there is no excess rope floating on the surface that could entangle a passing whale. The government and industry also reduced the lobster catch from a historical take of about 11,000 tonnes a year to a quota of 6000 tonnes, which Camarda says is working because it takes much less time to reach it, indicating a bounceback of stocks. Industrial fishing around the world is having a serious impact on the ocean's biodiversity, from depleting stocks of the target wild fish species to dangerous levels of bycatch of non-target species. David Attenborough's Ocean documentary has raised the profile of the destructive bottom-trawling techniques, while Greenpeace has been campaigning against longlining on the high seas over concerns about bycatch. Yet, just as there are some forms of aquaculture that are more sustainable than others, not all wild fisheries are equally managed. Loading Australia has 30 fisheries that are MSC-certified to externally validate they are run sustainably – though the MSC scheme has its critics. A major tuna fishery has now joined MSC ranks, in a stunning turnaround for a fish species that had been severely depleted from overfishing. The Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery in Port Lincoln, South Australia, had both its purse seine and longline fisheries certified earlier this month. Purse seine fishing uses a large vertical net, or seine, to surround and trap schools of fish in open water, with the bottom of the net pulling closed like a purse. Longlining means having a line kilometres long, with thousands of hooks. Greenpeace has argued this is an indiscriminate fishing method, pointing to data about the high bycatch of blue sharks particularly in an area around Lord Howe Rise in the south-west of the Pacific Ocean that it wants to see protected. However, Daniel Casement, chief executive of the Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna Industry Association, says it is easy to avoid bycatch when fishing for tuna because the species is a schooling fish. The purse seine method is very selective because it never hits the ocean floor, Casement says, and the fish are kept alive and towed into Port Lincoln for 'ranching'. The tuna are then raised in large cages with other tuna and fed sardines, the same as they would eat in the wild. Casement says that with both purse seine and longlining, the fishers only deploy where the tuna is already schooling. The main conservation question with bluefin tuna has been the vulnerability of the species itself as opposed to bycatch. Southern bluefin tuna were listed as 'threatened' under Australian law in 2010 but delisted in 2024. Globally, the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists southern bluefin tuna, which is also found in the waters south of Africa and South America, as 'endangered', while Pacific bluefin tuna is 'near threatened' and Atlantic bluefin tuna moved from 'endangered' to 'least concern' in 2021. Casement says the delisting in Australia and the recent certification reflect the fact that Australia and other members of the international Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna had used science to understand fish stocks and had made difficult decisions. Both government and industry are represented in the commission. 'When they were previously determined as overfished, using that science and strong management decisions, [the commission] reduced the quotas, reduced the amount they could catch and drove a strong stock-recovery strategy,' Casement says. 'Obviously, business was impacted significantly, but the longer-term benefit is what they were focused on.' The Northern Prawn Fishery, which extends along 6000 kilometres of coastline from Cape York in Queensland to Cape Londonderry in Western Australia, is one of Australia's largest. In 2012, it became the first tropical prawn fishery in the world to be certified by the MSC. Northern Prawn Industry Association chief executive Annie Jarrett says the fishery has been leading on environmental sustainability since the 1990s. It developed the world's first bycatch action plan in 1999, followed by the introduction of turtle exclusion devices, which give turtles an escape hatch from prawning nets, in the year 2000. 'We managed to reduce our turtle catch by approximately 99 per cent, and the capture of rays and sharks by up to 36 per cent,' Jarrett says. From 2015 to 2018, the fishery focused on reducing the bycatch of small fish and achieved a 43 per cent reduction, Jarrett says. In the past two years, the fishery has worked with the CSIRO to reduce interactions with endangered, threatened and protected species, particularly sawfish, a type of large ray. WWF and consumer goods giant Unilever co-founded the MSC in 1996, though the MSC is now independent. The certification body has sometimes copped criticism from within the environmental movement. Kate Noble, senior manager of oceans policy at WWF Australia, said the charity had publicly called for MSC reforms and expressed disappointment with the lack of progress over the past two decades. In 2021, WWF-Australia objected to the MSC certification of the orange roughy fishery in eastern Tasmania and joined the Australian Marine Conservation Society to file an objection, based on the conservation status of the long-lived species and its slow recovery from historic overfishing. 'However, given the lack of credible alternatives, the MSC standard does provide a useful and recognised global benchmark,' Noble says. 'It is as an important step towards sustainability – not an end point.' Matt Watson, senior fisheries program manager for the Asia Pacific at MSC, says the program is reviewed every five years to stay abreast of scientific developments. He says the perspectives of environmental groups are important but need to be balanced. 'We've got to make sure our program remains accessible, that the scientific bar remains credible, but we also need to make sure that we're not creating a standard which is exclusive to only 1 or 2 per cent of the world's catch,' Watson says. 'If you're a longliner, the independent auditors will look for issues around bycatch and endangered species interaction. If you're a trawler, there's a bit more focus on habitat interactions. The intent there is to incentivise change, regardless of fishing practices … and they have to show us the science and their data sets.' The 30 MSC-certified fisheries account for 38 per cent of the Australian wild catch, Watson says. There are some large fisheries outside the program, such as the South Australian sardine fishery, which voluntarily left the MSC program, but there is also a long tail of small fisheries that cannot afford certification. Loading Professor Gretta Pecl, a marine ecologist at the University of Tasmania and a member of the Biodiversity Council, says seafood is an important food source and Australian fisheries are among the world's best in terms of management and sustainability. 'Seafood, if it's harvested sustainably, can actually be part of the climate solution because the protein from seafood uses a lot less carbon in terms of the production [than other protein sources],' Pecl says. '[Seafood] can be part of our broader climate and biodiversity solution.'
