FISH-i Africa is a regional task force aimed at combating large-scale illegal fishing in the Western Indian Ocean through information sharing and regional cooperation. The initiative is a partnership of eight East African countries – Comoros, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles, Somalia, and Tanzania – that bring together national enforcement authorities, regional organizations, and international technical and legal experts to address this issue. FISH-i Africa enables coordinated action against vessels suspected of illegal fishing operations, through a platform that allows participating countries to communicate and exchange information related to illegal fishing incidents and operators in real-time.
