SAFEGUARDING OUR ECOSYSTEMS: RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES ALLIANCE
The RFA is a unique alliance of like-minded fishing companies and NGOs working together to co-create innovative solutions in promoting responsible and sustainable fisheries.
HOW THE RFA WORKS
The RFA unites multiple stakeholders to facilitate and promote sustainable fishing practices and an ecosystems approach to fisheries management in South Africa.
The RFA's work is primarily conducted by the Training and Projects Working Groups, overseen by a Steering Committee and supported by the Communications Working Group.
The budget of the RFA is supplied by membership fees (75% from the fishing industry and 25% from the NGOs).
