About us

The Center for Marine Justice is a non-partisan civil society organization dedicated to gender-sensitive local community capacity building, ocean education and academic research. Our mission is to promote marine justice and the sustainable and equitable use of ocean biodiversity, and to promote and defend the guarantee of the rights of communities living in coastal and island territories, especially artisanal fishing communities.

We are an accredited organization before the United Nations Conference on Oceans.

Our thematic areas are: marine justice and climate action, sustainable artisanal marine fisheries, ocean environmental education and coastal marine governance.

Mission

The organization seeks to contribute to the protection of marine and coastal ecosystems and the communities that inhabit the coastal and insular territory. 

Vision

By 2030, the organization will be a benchmark in marine and coastal governance and marine justice, and will have contributed to the implementation of SDG 14, in particular the target on ensuring artisanal fishers' access to biodiversity and fair markets.
