100% of all our supply chain partners will have the ability to align their Pacifical supply chain traceability data language with multiple product categories. We can’t wait to see the GDST Traceability Standard coming to reality in our tuna industry!
Huge thanks to @Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) , @EVRYTHNG – a Digimarc company and Digimarc who have been together with us in this initiative aiming to demonstrate the technical ability to transmit all GDST Key Data Elements (KDEs) and Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) consistently across our systems.
This ability could be extended to tuna brands and retailers that are aiming to implement the GDST Standard and sourcing @Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Pacifical tuna from the Western Pacific Island region. Contact us today so that we can let you know how you can take part in this: info@pacifical.com

Digimarc Corporation (Nasdaq: DMRC) and Pacifical have been working together to achieve interoperability between their traceability systems through use of communication protocols of the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) standard.
Supply chains across all sectors are complex. Even though most suppliers make attempts to provide full traceability for products, the challenge for retailers is that each supply partner has different traceability reporting protocol. This is why a common language for traceability in retail is much needed.
The GDST standard has been designed as a seafood-specific extension of the GS1 EPCIS, which offers uniformed vocabulary for interoperability across many product categories. The EPCIS is widely used by worldwide retailers and suppliers. The GDST standard enables trading partners to share information about the physical movement and status of seafood products as they travel throughout the supply chain – from business to business and, ultimately, to consumers. The GDST has just announced plans to release a new tool—the GDST Interoperability Capability Test—that will be able to test whether IT systems can achieve interoperability under the recently updated GDST 1.1 standards.
“We congratulate Pacifical and Digimarc for the progress they are making to advance interoperability. Pacifical and Digimarc are on track to be among the first companies to pass the GDST Interoperability Capability Test once it is released,” said Blake Harris, Sr. Food Traceability Manager of GDST.
Roughly a quarter of the fish caught globally is done so illegally. Traceability is the first step to eliminate these practices.
“Increasing the verifiability of seafood supply chains, enhancing traceability and facilitating compliance with government regulations on the legality of seafood products, is what the GDST is all about,” added Greg Brown, Executive Director of the GDST.
The EVRYTHNG Product Cloud®, brought to you by Digimarc, is a leading provider of realtime digitized end-to-end value chain information, and Pacifical is the market developer and promoter of the Pacific Island nations and its sustainable tuna resource certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
“We are pleased to work with Digimarc to validate Pacifical’s work on implementing supply chain traceability data based on the GDST Standard. We are looking forward to transferring this ability to retailers and brands worldwide sourcing and supporting sustainable tuna catch from the Pacific Island countries,” says Cynthia Asaf, COO of Pacifical.
“Adopting the very best technology in traceability and supply chain transparency will both help brands meet market regulations, and enhance brand integrity,” concluded Dominique Guinard, Digimarc’s VP of Cloud and IoT, and Founder of EVRYTHNG. “We’re excited to start this process with Pacifical.”
This initiative aims to demonstrate the technical ability to transmit all GDST Key Data Elements (KDEs) and Critical Tracking Events (CTEs). This ability could be extended to tuna buyers that are aiming to implement the GDST Standard and sourcing from the Western Pacific Island region.

That woman in the tuna industry, who juggles with her factory job and the responsibilities of being a mother. Women in canneries all over the world that help feed the world, and make the availability of affordable highly nutritious tuna a reality every day.
Did you know #SolomonIslands SolTuna is building a Child Care center right next to the cannery? In our industry we know that absenteeism is probably the number 1 issue for all tuna factories in the Pacific. In the Solomon islands they found out that many female workers were absent regularly in large part due to the lack of affordable child care. At Pacifical we love to see the Pacific region stepping up for #equality
Happy International Women’s day from Pacifical www.pacifical.com

A day to spread awareness on the importance and great value of tuna, both to the Pacifical island community and consumers worldwide.
Last year, @Pacifical was thrilled to invite people throughout PNA to submit a video clip showing how their tuna resources are contributing to their communities. We loved to see so much engagement, creativity, and awareness. This 2022, @PNA Tuna is inviting nationals to use art, music, dance, writing, video, to share their vision regarding “Our Tuna, Our Heritage”.
We cannot wait to see the videos of the winners! Click here for more details: https://pnatuna.com/content/world-tuna-day-art-talent-quest-2022

An estimated $14.5 Million USD is how much our partners have directly contributed to the people of the PNA Islands nations through sourcing Pacifical tuna products.
When sourcing and processing traceable Pacifical sustainable wild tuna, you can be 100% assured that your sourcing decisions are making a critical positive impact in the pacific island region; Not only from an ocean conservation perspective, but also towards the overall well-being of communities and families. Thanks to your involvement and tuna income received, many Pacifical nations are able to build schools, hospitals, roads, and fight the effects of climate change.
So, this message is to say THANK YOU! Because without your sustainable buying decisions we would not be able to reach our sustainability and social development goals. It is an honor and a privilege for our team to work with you to create maximum impact through purpose driven sustainable tuna sourcing.
2022 will come with exciting changes and we are looking forward to contacting you early next year to discuss those. In the meantime, we put together a nice infographic that captures some of our key metrics year to date. Please check it out.
Happy holidays from our Pacifical family to yours!

54% of the eligible volume is free school caught Yellowfin Tuna!! Normally this ranges between 10 to 25%, the balance being Skipjack.
Brands, retailers, and processors using MSC Yellowfin have currently over 12.000 M/T of eligible MSC Pacifical Tuna on board. It is an excellent time to switch if your company is currently buying from a region where yellowfin is overfished and red-listed, such as the Indian Ocean yellowfin.
Contact Pacifical how to get your MSC yellowfin supply set up. https://www.pacifical.com/contact-us/

The latest scientific report by SPC on 2020 rates the Western Central Pacific as the only ocean with skipjack, yellowfin, bigeye and albacore all in beautiful GREEN!
70% of these tuna are caught within the EEZs of the PNA nations, making their successful management the most important factor in assuring that not a single tuna species is overfished, nor overfishing is taking place.
