International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF) - Membership

Standard

1

The International Pole and Line Foundation was founded as a UK-based charity on the 23rd January, 2012, born out of the need for representation of pole-and-line fishers in the Maldives. It was influenced by this Greenpeace report (2009) which exposed the state of our fisheries and the damage commercial fisheries had committed to our fish stocks, our oceans, and our fishing communities. Therefore, our IPNLF founders set out with a mission: to support one hook, one line, one fish at a time.
