Our filmmakers, researchers, campaigners, and grassroots advocates bring about systemic protection for the natural world and defend the fundamental human right to a secure environment. Our campaigns are rooted in field investigations, partnerships, and grassroots communities that inform and guide our global strategies to protect people and our shared planet.
CONSERVING OUR GLOBAL OCEAN. We campaign for legal, sustainable, and fair fisheries, end marine plastic pollution, and stop deep-sea mining. Our investigations expose illegal fishing fleets and ‘seafood slavery’ and drive protections for marine biodiversity and the communities that depend on the ocean.
PROTECTING OUR CLIMATE. We defend Nature’s carbon stores – ocean, wetlands and forests - and we work to secure greater protection for climate refugees.

The programme will include the rollout of a ‘Global Toolkit’ that gives fishing communities innovative, practical equipment, training, and support to help end illegal fishing. Capacity building will include using EJF’s DASE app, which enables fishers to document and report illegal fishing. This app will be accompanied by insightful practical guidance to strengthen local governance and advocacy to protect inshore waters relied upon by coastal communities.

We seek a proactive, creative and determined problem solver who will capitalise on new opportunities and ensure we exceed expectations.

The role requires a natural diplomat, able to lead discussions with government officials at the local and national level. The Coordinator will lead the grant, reporting to the EU as the funder and other major stakeholders, including national governments.
