The American Albacore Fishing Association in Bonita is a nonprofit trade organization representing U.S. pole-and-line and troll-caught albacore tuna fishermen from its Bonita Road headquarters. AAFA earned the first Marine Stewardship Council certification ever awarded to a tuna fishery, a sustainability benchmark that connects directly to the MSC chain-of-custody processing handled by nearby American Tuna. The association advocates before the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission, securing harvest-strategy approvals that shape Pacific-wide catch limits. AAFA's one-by-one harvest ethos supports the same marine ecosystem accessible to the public at Chula Vista Bayside Park along the bayfront. Core operations include coordinating West Coast unloading stations, managing vessel waste-compliance programs, and facilitating MSC chain-of-custody audits that track each albacore from hook to processor.
