Johan Beizuidenhout (Saints Tuna Corporation - St Helena) - a love of the ocean and tuna

Saint Helena is a remote volcanic island located in the South Atlantic Ocean, known for its rich history and unique fishing traditions. 

 The history of fishing on Saint Helena dates back centuries and has played a significant role in shaping the island's culture and economy.

The island's fishing industry primarily centers around the harvesting of various species of fish, including a range of premium yellowfin, big eye and skipjack tuna which thrive in the nutrient-rich waters of the South Atlantic.

In recent times, Saint Helena has made efforts to balance the economic benefits of fishing with the need for sustainable practices to protect marine ecosystems. It is regarded as one of the most successful premium pole and line tuna fisheries in the world with the quality of the catch heralded globally.

Johan Beizuidenhout is at the forefront of the renaissance of this amazing fishery, driven by a love of the ocean and of tuna, he is setting a new and exciting direction for this remote and unique fishery.
