In the face of growing environmental and economic challenges, the world's coastal communities are facing a crisis. The enclosure of commons - the privatization of traditional fishing grounds - is threatening the livelihoods of millions of fishermen and the health of our oceans.

In response, a global movement of fishermen is rising up to fight for their rights and to protect the marine environment. The Global Fishermen Movement is a network of organizations and individuals working together to promote sustainable fisheries and to resist the enclosure of commons.

Enclosure Commons

Enclosure commons is the process by which traditional fishing grounds are privatized and closed off to local fishermen. This process has been happening for centuries, but it has accelerated in recent years due to the growth of industrial fishing and aquaculture.

Enclosure commons has a devastating impact on coastal communities. It deprives fishermen of their traditional livelihoods and forces them to compete with large-scale fishing operations for a dwindling supply of fish.

The Global Fishermen Movement

The Global Fishermen Movement is a response to the growing threat of enclosure commons. The movement is made up of fishermen, fisherwomen, fishing communities, and organizations from all over the world.

The Global Fishermen Movement is fighting for the following goals:

• To protect the rights of fishermen and fisherwomen
• To promote sustainable fisheries
• To resist the enclosure of commons
• To promote food security
• To protect the marine environment
