Investment in Fisheries: Financing the Transition to Sustainability

There is a strong body of good practice that shows how abundant and healthy fish populations support greater social and economic benefits for society. However, one key constraint to recovering fisheries at the pace and scale required has been a lack of capital to finance their transition to sustainability. With the Prince of Wales’ International Sustainability Unit (ISU), EDF developed a report which provides a set of tools for designing sustainable fisheries projects in a way that will attract investment from government, philanthropic and private investors.
