In this episode of Sea Views, hosts Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell are joined by Alan McCullough, Coordinator of the International Fund for Fishing Safety (IFS), for a follow-up conversation on global fishing safety.
Since its launch at I Fish 6 in Rome earlier this year, IFS has begun delivering targeted grants that are already making a difference — with life-saving initiatives now underway in Ghana, Kenya, Thailand, South Africa, Vietnam, and Fiji. Alan shares early results, the strategy behind the fund’s deployment, and the broader ripple effects for fisher welfare, sustainability, and the future of small-scale fisheries.
This is a vital episode for anyone working in, funding, or regulating the fishing sector — and a strong reminder that small investments in safety can yield enormous global impact.
📌 Topics include:
– The origins and objectives of the IFS
– How local projects are protecting thousands of fishers
– Funding structures and grant criteria
– Key data and life-saving outcomes to date
– Persistent challenges in developing regions
– Collaboration models for sustainable change
– IFS’s long-term vision for global safety equity
🎧 A must-listen for maritime NGOs, fisheries policymakers, funders, and sustainability advocates looking to improve safety and livelihoods across global fishing communities.
Sea Views brings maritime’s most urgent topics into focus — with insights from those shaping the future of safety at sea.
