Deadly Catch takes a closer look at the huge impacts illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, or pirate fishing, is having on communities in Sierra Leone.

No Place Like Home: Introduction

By 2050, there will be an estimated 150 million climate refugees - people forced to leave their homes by droughts, extreme weather patterns and sea level rise associated with climate change. There is no international law designed to protect these most vulnerable people and their needs.

President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives and Premier Talagi of Niue told EJF about how climate change is affecting their countries.

EJF is calling for international protection for climate refugees. We believe that that there needs to be a legally-binding, international Protocol that identifies and protects these people displaced from their homes by deteriorating environmental conditions. We campaign for a new Special Rapporteur on human rights and climate change to be established in the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Human rights should be at the heart of international action on climate change.

EJF at the Real Food Festival

The Environmental Justice Foundation was at the Real Food Festival this year talking to the public, chefs and industry about the Save the Sea campaign and illegal fishing in West Africa.

Alongside EJF's exhibition showing the supply chain of illegal fish from West Africa making its way to Europe and the impacts on coastal fishing communities in Sierra Leone, the event was also a great opportunity for EJF volunteers and campaigners to discuss the issues and ask people why they think it's so important to Save the Sea.
