Carsten Pedersen

Carsten Pedersen is a political activist and researcher with the Environmental and Agrarian Justice (AEJ) team at TNI. His work addresses questions such as who has the rights to the seas and their resources? who is deciding for what purpose the water territories should be used? and how does material and social life connect the seas with the land? Before joining TNI in 2018, he served fisher movements (representing small-scale fishers) from across the world for almost two decades, and for the most of this time his base was with Masifundise in Cape Town. The fisher movements, and in particular the World Forum of Fisher Peoples, remain close allies in his work at TNI.

The report adopts an analytical lens, examining the three circuits of capital—productive, commodity, and money—revealing the industry's intricate workings. From the burgeoning 'gold fever' to environmental repercussions and the symbiotic relationship between mining magnates and the state, each section sheds light on critical facets. Culminating in inspiring narratives of social movements, the report advocates for a deeper understanding of capitalism's role, concluding with a thought-provoking query on the potential impact of a People’s Tribunal in the pursuit of justice.

  • World Fisheries Day and the crucial role of Gaza’s fishers

    • Fisheries and Fisher peoples
    • Ocean Grabbing

    The real names of the fishers in this story have been changed for personal safety On 26 September 2023, the Gaza General Union of Fishworkers was admitted as a member of the World Forum of Fisher Peoples (WFFP). The fishworkers’ Union represents Gaza’s 4,000 fishers and an even larger number of women who repair fishing gear, clean fish and sell it at the markets. It was a day of celebration for the fishworkers’ union, established just a few months earlier in Gaza with the support of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC). It was also a moment for the global fisher movement, WFFP, to reconfirm its international solidarity with the fisherfolk in Gaza. In the new set of resolutions endorsed by its leadership, the WFFP states “we stand in solidarity with our fisherfolk in Gaza and demand an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestine”.
