The EU Fisheries Control Coalition — The Environmental Justice Foundation, Oceana, Seas At Risk, The Nature Conservancy and WWF, together with Client Earth, The Fisheries Secretariat, Our Fish and Sciaena — is working to ensure that fisheries management in the EU safeguards ocean health and marine life for generations to come.
