Conservation Partners
Preserving our marine environment and waterways is important to Greenseas and to our conservation partners.
As a canned tuna brand, our first responsibility is to ensure the long term sustainability of tuna fisheries. We were the first Australian brand to use dolphin safe fishing methods in 1991 and the first to commit to sourcing 100% FAD-Free purse seine caught tuna.

Our conservation partners are the Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP), Opération Cétacés, the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) and the Derwent Estuary Program. Their research and other conservation activities help to preserve marine biodiversity in Australia and around the region. Read on to find out more about each of our partners.

The Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community is the Pacific Community's regional centre for tuna fisheries research, fishery monitoring, stock assessment and data management. The OFP provides scientific advice to all those involved in managing tuna fishing across the Western Central Pacific Ocean region. |
Based in New Caledonia, Opération Cétacés is a Marine Mammal Research Organisation working in partnership with James Cook University's Professor of Environmental Science Helene Marsh and other Australian researchers on ways to help conserve dugongs. This includes the provision of science to inform dugong management by studying dugong distribution, abundance, movements, behaviour, life history and genetics. |
The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) is an international non-profit organisation that unites communities to save coral reefs - home to many fascinating animals, including the psychedelic frogfish and longhorn cowfish. By providing education, tools, funding, and inspiration to help local communities become passionate stewards of their reefs, CORAL is building a network of well-managed marine protected areas and sustainable businesses that benefit both coral reefs and people. |
The Derwent Estuary Program is a partnership between government, business, scientists and the community to restore and promote our waterway. Established in 1999, the partnership has been nationally recognised for excellence in reducing water pollution, conserving biodiversity – including Tasmania's endangered spotted handfish - monitoring ecosystem health and promoting foreshore walking tracks. |
