This iniative recognises and applauds fishers who are making changes over and above what is required of them, to ensure healthy marine ecosystems and the benefits we derive from them.
Those at sea working directly with our marine resources have the power to inspire and directly implement change in the fishing industry. It is for this reason that the WWF Responsible Fisheries Programme (RFP) has initiated a project whereby individuals who are making significant changes in the fishing industry are recognised and acknowledged.
Every second month, WWF RFP chooses a champion whose story inspires change in the fishing industry, and profiles them in Fishing Industry News. Champions are chosen because their actions show they are committed to responsible fishing and are working towards a better, sustainable future.
We encourage all fishers to send in your stories about how things are changing in your fishery, and how you are having an impact.
