Our protected waters are our most-valued asset and we work hard to protect them.

The Islas Secas Foundation works closely with local organizations to strengthen and enforce fisheries regulations and marine protected areas. This includes bringing Panama’s domestic fishing fleet data into the Global Fishing Watch mapping platform, providing training to the fisheries authority, and brokering a regional transparency agreement with neighboring countries.
