A majority of the world’s fish stocks are fully exploited or overexploited at a time when 37 percent of the global population (~2.8 billion people) lives in coastal communities. Many of these communities depend on the health of the oceans for their livelihoods, and the issue of overfishing is as much a human problem as it is an environmental one. Reducing overfishing requires both better business practices and natural resource conservation.
At Future of Fish, we build platforms that are strategic in approach, innovative by design, and collaborative in nature to end overfishing without ending fishing.
Overfishing is a complex, systemic issue, and there are no silver bullet solutions. Through deep understanding of fishery systems and the environmental, social and economic dynamics at play, we develop strategic, coordinated and scalable solutions that unlock real change.
Our ideas are fresh, globally impactful and appropriately scaled to each geography in which we work. We design innovative solutions to match resources with projects and engage with stakeholders to make sure we’re addressing their concerns.
We tap into the wisdom and experience of our partners to craft our strategies, learning from people on the ground and on the cutting edge. By creating structures that intertwine funders, fishing communities, supply chains and other stakeholders, we bind collaborations and facilitate connections for impact.
Our approach centers on making connections. On bringing fishing communities, funders, seafood businesses and others to the table to tap into the freshest ideas out there. For us, innovation never manifests as a silver bullet. It means carefully crafted solutions that are rooted in system forces, strategic alignment and scalability.
Our work happens where people, technology, science, business and finance collide. With deep knowledge of the seafood industry, we build collaborations of stakeholders. And with them, we identify and plug gaps in the system, leverage existing resources and build actionable platforms that incentivize engagement.
We are a diverse group including design thinkers, entrepreneurs, business consultants and scientists. Together, we’re more than the sum of our parts. Our work is sharpened by our diversity—in experience, in background, and in thought. As a team, we’re thirsty for a challenge and thrive when tackling some of the world’s most complex problems.
