Senior Officer, Government Affairs (Indonesia)
Join the Global Fishing Watch transparency program in Indonesia. GFW’s transparency program is working with governments to publish their vessel tracking data to our public platform to strengthen monitoring and support enforcement. By embracing transparency, nations have a more cost effective way of monitoring vessels that puts the burden on fishers to demonstrate compliance rather than on the country to prove illegality. GFW is committed to bringing 20 countries into our transparency program by 2022 to advance responsible fisheries management. The Program Officer will play a key role in the delivery of this vision in Asia. Full description here.
