Our vision and mission
The Coalition for Fisheries Transparency connects organizations that already work towards greater transparency in fisheries, but are isolated by geography or lack of capacity. The Coalition facilitates coordination, collaboration and cross-regional communication among initiatives that focus on fisheries transparency globally, supporting member organizations to achieve significant policy changes.
Our vision is transparent, equitable, and well-governed fisheries, free from harmful fishing practices and human rights and labor abuses, for the benefit of people and the ocean.
Our mission is to connect and support civil society organizations to advance and accelerate fisheries transparency policies around the world.
What makes us unique?
Though civil society organizations around the world are advancing work on transparency in fisheries, the global scale of the problem showcases that standalone efforts are not enough to turn the tide.
The Coalition for Fisheries Transparency was set up to maximize impact and accelerate change, to allow our members to learn from each other, find opportunities to leverage each other’s work, support existing regional coalitions and their members in market states, and foster similar activities in important coastal and flag states that still lack adequate measures to address the issue of transparency in fisheries.
