Washington, D.C. – Today, the Fisheries Governance Tool (FGT), a comprehensive, evidence-based diagnostic tool, was released so that fishery managers, environmental organizations, funders, investors, and other key stakeholders can understand how a country’s fisheries management system is performing, track progress against sustainability goals, identify gaps and challenges, and set targets for continued improvement.
The Walton Family Foundation is proud of our decades-long track record investing in real solutions to tough environmental challenges. Over the last five years alone, we’ve invested $351 million in efforts to support real, lasting ecological restoration in the Gulf of Mexico, to tackle the water policy challenges in the Colorado River Basin, to conserve some of the most ecologically rich seascapes around the globe and to push for sustainable fisheries management that benefits fishing communities and families. Our grantees include many of the nation’s leading environmental groups, as well as local organizations working on behalf of the communities that depend directly on healthy rivers, oceans and wildlife.
