What is a FIP?

A Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) is a collaborative, multi-stakeholder initiative that unites fishers, industry leaders, NGOs, government agencies, and scientific experts to enhance the sustainability of fisheries. It operates through a well-defined action plan with measurable milestones, robust transparency, and rigorous progress monitoring.

Why it Matters?

• FIPs harness collaborative frameworks to reform fishing practices and governance, enhancing ecosystem health and resource longevity.
• FIPs establish clear objectives, budgets, and accountability measures, ensuring measurable progress over time.
• Through transparency and frequent reporting, FIPs build trust across the supply chain and with consumers.
