South West Indian Ocean Tuna Forum (SWIOTUUNA)

SWIOTUNA is a regional marine-related network registered in Kenya as an international public benefit organization with its membership consisting of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), community fisheries collective action units such as Beach Management Units (BMUs), and Private Sector from the coastal nations and island states of Madagascar, Seychelles, Mauritius, Comoros, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Kenya.

The forum provides a capacity-building opportunity to CSOs working on marine and fisheries-related issues to advocate for sustainable use, development, and management of marine fisheries in the South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) range states with a view to ensuring that the respective countries and local communities derive more socio-economic benefits from their fisheries resources.
