April 19, 2023 — The new Coalition for Fisheries Transparency has published a framework to create a common language advocates can use to enhance sustainability and transparency efforts across global seafood supply chains.
The framework, called the Global Charter for Fisheries Transparency, includes ten principles for the coalition to use when promoting seafood traceability and transparency. Members and leaders of the coalition include several nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Global Fishing Watch, Citizens Institute for Environmental Studies (Korea), WWF, Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), Oceana, Regional Partnership for Coastal and Marine Conservation (West Africa), and Seafood Legacy (Japan).
