Findings
Divergences in data format and nomenclatures (1 per tRFMOs) => not easy to get information in fisheries at global scale + difficulties to exchange and to disseminate data + not favor collaboration and coordination between tRFMOs;
Coordination and collaboration between TRFMOs are essential for improving tuna science as they share common scientific and methodological issues;
Enhanced data exchange and dissemination result in benefits for the scientific community -> policy makers (and general public) -> conservation of healty stocks;
Overall objectives of the project:
