Subject: INVESTOR SOUGHT TO BE PART OF ST HELENA’S ONE-BY-ONE TUNA FISHERY
Message:
St Helena Island is looking for investors to be part of our vibrant South Atlantic
one-by-one fishery as the Island goes through an exciting period of change. With
the recent opening of St Helena Airport, the Island has the opportunity to export
high quality fresh tuna to international markets, while continuing to provide the
local community with a range of seafood products.
We are seeking an investor who wants to buy into and benefit from St Helena’s
highly sustainable fishing industry, whilst ensuring the industry continues to benefit
the Island. St Helena is fully committed to sustainability. The waters out to 200
nautical miles are part of the world’s largest ‘one-by-one’ only tuna fishing zone,
ensuring all catches are made with minimal harm to the marine environment,
whilst supporting our local fishermen. This zone is a cornerstone of St Helena’s
local identity, supporting many generations of fishing tradition.
Given the opportunity to access premium international markets, St Helena is
seeking investment to move the industry forward in a way that continues to
support our local community and sustainability vision. Our fishermen catch an
array of tuna species, including yellowfin, bigeye, skipjack, and occasionally
albacore, in addition to an array of coastal species that largely go to the local
market. All fish is currently landed to St Helena Fisheries Corporation (SHFC),
which has the capacity to store, freeze, process, and distribute seafood for the
local and international market.
Investors are invited to submit their ideas and/or proposals to take over core
services currently provided by SHFC and help shape the future of St Helena’s
fishing industry. St Helena Government is not fixed on backing a specific
operational/sales model and is looking for innovative ideas from investors
passionate about sustainability.
