our mission
Access to fisheries has become a geopolitical flashpoint. Climate change is causing fish stocks to move, and newly fish-rich and fish-poor places will face increased conflict and disruptions to food and job security. Existing solutions are not enough, but there is still time to act.
WE PROVIDE EARLY WARNING OF FISHERIES CONFLICT HOTSPOTS TO ENABLE COLLABORATIVE ACTION FOR PEOPLE AND NATURE.
Spotlights
The Arctic, Ecuador, and the Horn of Africa will experience elevated risks of conflict as climate change moves fish in and out of their waters. Explore our three Spotlights to learn more about these fisheries conflicts, what each region is doing to address them, and what else needs to be done.
