Values and mission statement

SCFF believes in a future where small-scale fisheries can have a positive social, economic and environmental impact.

We fight for changes in law, policy and fisheries management to support a sustainable future for small-scale sustainable fisheries.

We work with fishermen and for fishermen to carry out research and trials to support best practice and novel gear to reduce environmental impacts while remaining economical.
