Completed FIPs are those that have independent verification that they have achieved their environmental objectives and/or graduated to MSC full assessment or other program assessment. Fukuichi Fishery Co. , Ltd. , a Japanese seafood processing company, conducted a MSC pre-assessment in 2018 for patner fisheries which operate longline tuna in the Pacific Ocean, Pre-assessment report showed the fishery needs improvement on Principle 2, ecosystem impact, although Principle 1, target stock, and Principle 2, effective management, were conditional pass level. It was identified in the pre-assessment report that one of the weakness of the fishery was limited information/data about bycatch and bait. FIP TypeBasic FIPs are a good entry point for fisheries to begin addressing specific environmental challenges to improve their performance against the Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries Standard. FIP StageFisheryProgress. To fulfill those gaps, we decided to conduct improvement work one more year before entering full-assessment. Regional Fisheries Management OrganizationRFMOs are international bodies made up of countries interested in managing fish stocks in a particular region.
