The Pew Oceans Commission is an independent group
of American leaders conducting a national dialogue
on the policies needed to restore and protect living
marine resources in U.S. waters. After reviewing
the best scientific information available and speaking
with people from around the country, the Commission
made its formal recommendations to Congress and
the nation in June 2003.

World Forum of Fish Harvesters and Fishworkers
WFF has already been successful in spreading the

around the world, and in bringing international
attention to some of the more egregious actions
against fish, fishermen and fishing communities.
