Sad I won't be there, but excited I joined FiTI as we enter the next decade🎉🎂🎉 A key challenge w/ fisheries transparency is it's often discussed vaguely. FiTI works w/ stakeholders to understand exactly what should be made public, by whom, why... and (importantly) HOW! 🐟🧪🌊 @fiti-global.bsky.social

🌍 Over 40 participants from 20+ nationalities joined an event co-organized by the FiTI and Global Fishing Watch, with the support of the Ministerio de Producción de Ecuador, to discuss how transparency and the disclosure of beneficial ownership can strengthen port controls and fight illegal fishing.

Knowing who truly owns fishing operations helps support fisheries governance and sustainability. #BeneficialOwnership #transparency is part of the solution. Read more in Open Ownership and @unodc.bsky.social's new brief: ▶️ bit.ly/oo-unodc-fisheries #UnitedAgainstCorruption #fisheries
