Website Information:
The EU IUU Fishing Coalition is composed of the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), Oceana, The Nature Conservancy, The Pew Charitable Trusts and WWF are working together to promote EU leadership in improving global fisheries transparency and governance to end illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. While working closely together on a number of issues in the EU, some areas, such as work on legislation that requires lobbying, are not actively conducted by all members. This coalition is financially supported by Oceans 5. The IUU Watch URL is owned by the Environmental Justice Foundation. Designed by Visualcode
