For millions of people around the world, a degraded natural environment means hunger and
brutal poverty that costs lives.

By providing film and advocacy training to partners
in the global south EJF protects the natural environment
and the people and wildlife that depend upon it by
empowering local communities to investigate, expose
and peacefully resolve abuses.

EJF campaigns internationally on the issues our grassroots partners work locally to solve including cotton production, pirate fishing, shrimp farming, pesticides, wildlife and climate refugees.

THROUGH THE NET

THROUGH THE NET from EJF on Vimeo.

Through the Net charts EJF’s investigations into
pirate’ fishing in West Africa and tracks the journey of
fish caught illegally in Sierra Leone to the European
seafood market through the Spanish port of Las Palmas.

The film reveals gaps in the EU regulation to prevent,
deter and eliminate IUU fish and highlights steps that
need to be taken to ensure that the regulation works
effectively. The film features interviews with the
EU Fisheries Commissioner, Members of the European
Parliament and fishing communities that suffer the
impacts of ‘pirate’ fishing in West Africa.
The voiceover is provided by award-winning journalist
and broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby.
