Mission & Goals
The Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI) is a global multi-stakeholder partnership that strengthens transparency and collaboration in marine fisheries management.

Organisation Members
The Fisheries Transparency Initiative is a global multi-stakeholder partnership. It is legally institutionalised as a non-profit, non-governmental association in Seychelles under Seychellois law. Membership in the FiTI association is open to any individual nominated by an entity from three stakeholders groups (i.e. government, business or social sector, see below) interested in enhancing transparency and multi-stakeholder participation in fisheries, good ocean governance or wider areas of open government and access to information. As membership in the FiTI is personal and not institutional, all members must obtain regular feedback from other individuals and organisations within their stakeholder group to ensure the FiTI benefits from the broadest representation of interests, positions, and experiences possible. The sole responsibility of members is to serve in the FiTI International Board. The current list of members (i.e. FiTI International Board Members) can be found here: https://fiti.global/fiti-international-board
