The Vietnam yellowfin tuna FIP process began in 2013 with the completion of a Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) pre-assessment. An FIP Action Plan was completed in early 2014, which describes the necessary FIP activities, with associated responsible parties and timeframes, required to meet the MSC standard. The FIP was formally launched in April 2014, having entered the implementation stage, with
activities commenced and slated to be tracked and audited regularly according to WWF and FishetyProgress.org standards for Comprehensive FIPs.
