Transparency in fisheries is essential for responsible and equitable ocean governance. However, organisations working towards this goal often face challenges due to geographic isolation or limited capacity. That’s where the Coalition for Fisheries Transparency (CFT) comes in.
The Coalition connects and supports civil society organisations worldwide, facilitating collaboration and cross-regional communication to advance transparency policies. By strengthening these efforts, the Coalition helps drive significant policy changes towards transparent, equitable, and well-governed fisheries, free from harmful fishing practices and human rights abuses.
At Natural Justice, we believe that legislation and government policies play a central role in shaping a responsible seafood sector. Scientific research should inform both government decisions and stakeholder strategies. A deeper understanding of law, policy, and science allows all stakeholders to align their efforts, minimise obstacles, and avoid duplication.
By joining the Coalition as an affiliate, we aim to provide guidance and share our legal expertise to support civil society groups advocating for stronger fisheries transparency. We look forward to working together to ensure fisheries governance is clear, accountable, and fair for people and the planet.
