Turning the Tide: Why East Africa Must Unite Against Illegal Fishing

On September 1st, Ascending Africa, through its flagship initiative The Jahazi Project, brought together stakeholders from across East Africa and the Southwest Indian Ocean islands for the Blue Voices Roundtable in Dar es Salaam. More than a convening, the Roundtable marked the launch of a campaign dedicated to uniting governments, communities, and partners to end illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUUF) and to secure a sustainable blue economy for future generations.
