W8St Africa - investigations and advocacy to end illegal fishing Fishing licences and fkggiw.. The Transparency Charter infomed a briefin on Ghana's fisheries sector that resutted in the publication of the industrial fishing licen list by ihe Ministry of Fisheries. Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia also publshed their lince lists for the first time, a major step folward in the campaign for fisheries transparency in the wion. EJF'S work has prompted extensive media coverage urging govemments in Sene al, Ghana and Liberia to train from granb.ng new licences to Chinese di5tsnt water fishing vessels. The expanding Chinese fieet kcks transparency and tsrgets alreadyepted fish popuktions up)n which small-sCa fishers depend. Media coverage has hIghfightl the opaque and dubious preSSeS fcw granting industrial vessel licenses. In June, the EJF in Liberia stetve(l up advocacy as we ffled that six newly nstrUcted chinese- flagged supertrawkrs each weighing 600 tonnes and capable of (ztching over one-third of the COLJntry s total catch - were attetnpbng to secuie fishing licenses.

EJF shared Alerts wtth Sierra Leone's authorities. which arrested three of Ihe Seven vesseb. Each of the vessels flies Sierra Leone's fl8g, but they are Skety to be Chinese owned. In January, the Deputy Minister of Fisheries tokl EJF that the Ministry is ieceptwe to future vessel akrts and Infortnation- sharing.

However: th vessels (including Jian Mei 4 and Hong Chang 11 ed Freetown port in Juty with their fines unpaid. Despite our efforts to ubC1se the case and EU an¢J InterFoI invofvement, the vessels are still fugitive. We used satellite trackn.ng to identy potential IUU fishing adivities linkeil to Guinea, Senegal, atKI The Garnbia. In M8y.

'Saiko' _ the illegal transfer of fish from industrial trawrS to can$ at sea is a vast issue that demands urgent Government action. Saiko vessels are not onty over4ishing'. they atso tsrget the same fish stod(s as the small-scale fishemen, leading to poverty and fcMJJ insecurity in o)astal areas. In late 2019. the Government. unfortunalety. sunaled the possib kgalisation of 'saiko'. Folk)wing this. EJF monitor8d trends at Elmina wrt.

In Jun8, eight NGOS and th8 Ghan8 National Canoe Fish8m18n Council IGNCFCI delivered arn o n tter to Ghana's Pfesident calling lor an end to saiko to save the liveliho(xls of 2.7 million Ghanaians.

The film was s¢reened on Ghanaian national television and prompted several radio and televisicn debates. The saiko issue has also been tak8n up by prominent journalists in Ghana, wth a iwo-part documenta scre8ned on Joy News in June 2020. In August, we supported a 'sint protest. by artisanal fishemien and a press conference with the National Canoe Council in each regK)n. After its second arrest for IlgaI fishing. we opposed the relKensing of the Lu Rorjg Yuan Yu 956. The LN)at retumeLI to 1. arKJ the authorities rescinded rts licence.

The volunteers proteil nests and lUrtS from poachers, gather data and surveyed local fishers to assess the threat of turtle enlanglement in fishing nets. Ai ast 125 turtles were caught in 2019, including the rare seen Leatherback turt. In Liberia. our volunteer patrolkrs were given extra training and support to [teCt 131 nests and 118 nesting tyrtles. Working for Net Free Seas in Thailand An 8stirna18d 10 per cent ol gk>bal rnarin8 litter is reLqt8d to the fishing industry. B8tW88n 500,000 and 1 million tonnes ol'ghosl, fishing gears enter our anS every year. Thailand has over 10,400 commercial fishing vessels and over 50.0(X) SMalSCale boats. of whh 80°k vse some form of netting as Iheir main fishing gear. If these nets are lost LY discarded at sea. they pxjse a severe threat to marine ecosystems, and wildlife. Reports suggest Ihat 'ghost' nets knlkd or seriousty injured over 300 marine animals, including dolphins. dUg(gS. and turt$ in Thai waters12017 figures). EJF'S Net Free Seas project was L4unched in Juty 2020, fund1 by the Norwegian Retailers Environment Fund and the Rufford Foundation. Net Free Seas engages fishing communities in the fight against 'ghost' nels by organising clean-ups. providing trdining and guidan on ckaning nets, and developing relationships wtth recyclng companies and manufacrerS of recyckd pL2stic PrOdt$. Volunteers collected six tonnes of fishing nets Ihat were recyc into items including Covid-19 face- shields and a rang8 of prototype designs. By worknng directty with fishers, NFS provides a financial incentive to collect discarded fishing nets and the protection of manne iesources. Protecting Our Climate - Voices from the Frontlnes The climate crisis is both a human rights issue and an environmentsl one, and EJF is calling for ambitious action on carton emissions and robust protections for those on the frontlines of the crisis.
