IPNLF announces first commissioned research and co-partner campaigns.
IPNLF releases their first blog discussing their observer programme in the Maldives.
The first hands-on student observation expedition was coordinated by IPNLF for FCTC students; pole-and-line fishers from the Maldives went to Washington state to learn how to fish for albacore tuna. This shared knowledge exchange program between small-scale fisheries is continued through the success of fisher exchanges between the US and the Maldives, and the Maldives and Kenya.
An important Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Government of the Maldives and IPNLF to continue collaboratively working towards sustainable fisheries.
Together with Indonesia’s Ministry for Regional Development (KPDT) and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), IPNLF organised the 3rd International Coastal Tuna Business Forum in Indonesia.
