About us

EDF’s Fishery Solutions Center (FSC) designs and develops innovative fishery management tools and strategies that reverse overfishing and restore our oceans to abundance. Our staff of scientists, economists, finance specialists and fishery management experts is dedicated to providing data-driven and incentive-based solutions that provide more fish in the sea, more food on the plate, and more prosperous communities.

From developing innovative data collection programs to designing flexible management plans, we work with conservation groups, fishers and governments around the world that seek new approaches to fishery management; ones through which oceans – and the communities they support – can thrive. We work on fisheries small and large, and in developing and developed countries.
