Coalition for Fisheries Transparency is a voice of global civil society organizations that strive to advance #fisheriestransparency in marine governance.

The government, through the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture, is working diligently to address the EU's concerns and have the "yellow card" warning lifted. This warning was issued due to Ghana's struggles with illegal fishing practices, which threaten the country's fisheries and marine resources.

“What they usually do is pick a Senegalese director and then give him money. But the bosses of such joint ventures are in Europe. These covert corporate structures make it impossible to prosecute the ultimate owners who profit".

"If the crystal ball was showing me transparent fisheries, these local fishermen would be coming back with boats full of fish they can sell locally, & making good money for their efforts while local communities are well-fed."

📢 The latest #Eurobarometer reveals that consumers want clear seafood labels!🐟

Citizens believe that freshness, species, origin, & production method matters, for all seafood products! Traceability & transparency are key. We need to know what we consume and where it comes from.

[Environmental Justice Foundation @ejfoundation]

It’s time to end the opacity of vessel ownership networks and finally sanction those truly responsible. France must lead this movement, with the support of experts ➡️ @FishCoalition @FondationMer @DidierGascuel @WWF @nature_org @pewenvironment @OceanaEurope @GlobalFishWatch

Hon. @emeliaarthur_ 's appointment as Ghana's Minister for Fisheries & Aquaculture Development could mark a turning point for the future of the country's fisheries and the Ghanaians - if the Minister can successfully integrate transparency measures into policy & practice.
