Our commitment to change
Stop Illegal Fishing is an independent, African based Not for Profit organisation committed to ending the devastating impacts of illegal fishing across all African fisheries. It is only through the eradication of illegal fishing that African nations and their people will enjoy the full benefits of stable and increased revenues from their fishery resources.
Stop Illegal Fishing is dedicated to working in partnership with governments, civil society, NGOs, intergovernmental organisations and the fishing industry. Stop Illegal Fishing is harnessing the necessary international support and growing African commitment to support positive change. Through a mix of facilitation, capacity building, empowerment and support for on-going and new initiatives, Stop Illegal Fishing is proud to be part of the global effort to put an end to illegal fishing and related crimes.
