  • About

Laamu Atoll, an island that’s part of the Maldives, is home to Horizon Fisheries. For decades, this small atoll community has fished for tuna using the authentic pole-and-line method. In fact, it’s an integral part of its culture. You can read more about the fishery and its methods.

Pole and line is a very labor-intensive method, requiring lots of manual work and thus creating employment for the local population. By eating the tuna caught by companies like Horizon, we contribute not only to the health of our oceans, but also to the livelihood of the fishermen and their families. Fishing has traditionally been their principal source of income.
