We rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities

Blue Ventures is a marine conservation organisation that puts people first. We support coastal fishers in remote and rural communities to rebuild fisheries, restore ocean life and build lasting pathways to prosperity. Our work began two decades ago in Madagascar’s remote coastal communities and is growing globally. Across a dozen countries, we’re partnering with traditional fishers and community organisations to design, scale, strengthen and sustain fisheries management and conservation at the community level. We bring partners together in networks to advocate for reform and share tools and best practices to support fishing communities across the globe.

Summary job description

There are four board of trustees meetings annually. Three of those meetings will be held online. One will be held in person, and travel expenses to London or any of our programmatic countries will be covered.

Each sub-committee has a minimum of 3 trustees on it. The chair of the board may attend a sub-committee meeting if invited by the relevant chair. Sub-committees are held online and attended by our CEO and, where necessary, Executive Leadership Team members. The exception to this is our Safeguarding Reporting Committee. There are currently 3 trustees on this sub-committee, and the CEO and Executive Leadership Team do not attend.

A trustee is appointed for three years, and the maximum number of years a trustee can serve is six.
