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
