The Fisheries Transparency Initiative (short FiTI) has been developed as a unique effort that complements and supports other national, regional and global efforts for achieving responsible fisheries governance.
The FiTI is a global partnership that seeks to increase transparency and participation for a more sustainable management of marine fisheries. By making fisheries management more transparent and inclusive, the FiTI promotes informed public debates on fisheries policies and supports the long-term contribution of the sector to national economies and the well-being of citizens and businesses that depend on a healthy marine environment.
The FiTI is not operated by one organisation nor does it represent the work of a single interest group. Instead, the diversity of different stakeholders is a central feature of how the FiTI works, for national implementations as well as international governance.
The FiTI is a global initiative; it does not focus on a single country or on a region.
The FiTI is a voluntary initiative; however, once a country has decided to participate, mandatory requirements must be followed.
The implementation of the FiTI is country-centred; the intention to join the FiTI must come from a country’s government.
The FiTI is a multi-stakeholder initiative, ensuring equal participation from government, companies and civil society.
