Introduction
The fish population in our global oceans are in critical condition, population numbers as well as the diversity of species has suffered intensely over the past 5 years. In addition to marine life suffering, so are habitats and this illegal, over-exerted trade is contributing heavily to environmental degradation..
Report
We are working with a new partner who collaborates with national authorities and regional partners to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated -- aka "IUU" -- fishing, and fisheries crime, in African waters. Successful campaigns have already been conducted in partnership with authorities in Gabon, São Tomé & Princípe, Liberia, Benin, The Gambia, Namibia and Tanzania. Illegal fishing has become one of the biggest threats to the health of our oceans, we urgently need to support direct-action campaigns taking place in African coastal waters.
