At the heart of our vision is the commitment to fostering a balanced relationship between human activity and aquatic life. We believe that through collaboration and innovation, we can achieve sustainable fisheries that benefit both the environment and communities.

The IFM also publishes a range of materials, including journals and reports, to disseminate findings and promote awareness of key issues in fisheries management. Our members include a diverse group of stakeholders, from government agencies to private sector organisations, all united by a common goal of preserving aquatic resources for future generations.
