Secure Fisheries is a program of the One Earth Future Foundation that focuses on governance and sustainability in the fisheries sector. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, the organization aims to promote food and economic security through responsible fishing practices, regional coordination, and measures to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in the Indian Ocean. Its work centers on providing scientific data and analysis to support sustainable management of Somali fisheries, researching trade-offs between wild capture and aquaculture to improve the Somali fisheries value chain, and convening regional stakeholders to strengthen policy against IUU fishing. The group pursues these goals by building expertise, conducting empirical research, and fostering multi-stakeholder governance approaches, with a particular emphasis on Somalia and adjacent East African fisheries. A notable development includes partnerships to expand initiatives like Project Kalluun to Berbera, reflecting a collaborative approach to regional fisheries development and governance.
