The Civil Society Organisation Coalition for Ethical and Sustainable Seafood (“CSO Coalition”) was established in 2016. It consists of national and international CSOs working to address human rights and environmental issues in the Thai seafood sector. The CSO Coalition aims to promote and empower national CSOs in Thailand to build their organisational capacities (staff, research and public advocacy capabilities) and to hold the government and private sector to account for enforcing changes made to the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern the seafood sector. The CSO Coalition focuses on coordinating data, information and networks from each member organisation to help strategise around advocacy and produce policy-oriented, evidence-based recommendations aimed at the Thai government and the private sector. Member include: Labour Rights Promotion Network (LPN), Stella Maris Seafarers’ Centre, Migrant Workers Rights Network (MWRN), Foundation for Education and Development (FED), Human Rights and Development Foundation (HRDF), Raks Thai Foundation, Thai Sea Watch Association (TSWA), Association of Thai Fisherfolks Federation (ATFF), Andaman Foundation, Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF).
