This is an urgent appeal from EJF to help replace our boat in Sierra Leone


The boat is an essential part of EJF's programme to tackle industrial-scale illegal fishing in one of the world's poorest countries. It is also a precious emergency ambulance for remote coastal communities.

Last month the boat suffered irreparable damage and is not sea worthy so it is out of the water.

We urgently need to raise £50,000 to get a replacement boat in action by mid August
In the past year alone the boat team has:

- Tracked illegal vessels leading to penalties against unscrupulous operators
- supported and rescued artisanal fishers who have been violently attacked or had their nets destroyed by boat crews
- Saved the lives of 61 people by acting as a water ambulance and medical support

Help save lives and stop illegal fishing. Please Text BOAT to 70800 to give £5 today.
