Incentives for sustainable fisheries

By empowering local communities for resource management, and adding value to catches through conservation and eco-certification, Blue Ventures’ work is changing the way fishers and seafood buyers view conservation.
Advocacy for fisheries reform
Our research into both traditional and industrial fisheries in the Indian Ocean has been instrumental in promoting dialogue on fisheries reform and mobilising civil society groups around marine environmental issues. Our environmental policy specialists play a key role in developing recommendations for improving management of small scale and commercial fisheries. We work to propose strategies for fairer and more sustainable fisheries exploitation in the region, with a view to benefiting all fishery stakeholders in the long-term.
