The Department of State’s Global Engagement Center is offering this grant to support advanced investigative and exposure efforts focused on Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. This initiative aims to empower civil society organizations, academic researchers, and journalists to rigorously examine and highlight IUU fishing practices, particularly those associated with the People’s Republic of China. The grant specifically targets countering the PRC’s unsustainable fishing activities and the pervasive disinformation and information manipulation that enables these practices, making them hard to detect and combat. This funding is dedicated to increasing transparency and accountability to foster more sustainable global fisheries.
