This means that we will champion the fisheries that are already achieving this and empower and equip others to do the same. This has been embedded in our work since the beginning as we have helped fisheries to improve their fishing practices and will continue to be at the core of what we do moving forward, as we launch the Fisheries Improvement Toolkit.
This is why we work, both, directly on the ground with fishers and communities, and with decision makers such as RFMOs, local governments and multiple stakeholders. We recognise the importance of championing and promoting local, traditional methods of fishing as they currently fight for their place in the supply chain against industrial bodies. We believe that these communities hold the answer to the future of our oceans as we move away from overfishing towards a more holistic approach to sustainability; environmental impact should not be the sole factor for sustainability claims or standards. We should also take social and economical elements into account for driving change as a responsible approach.
| We’re here to make a difference. Driven by purpose and united by passion, we’re a global team making waves for small-scale fisheries.
We bring bold ideas, deep integrity, and resilient action to every challenge — because real impact doesn’t come from size, but from strategic thinking, shared commitment, and the courage to lead with our values. We believe in ocean equity: fair access, shared benefits, and a voice for those who rely on the sea. |
