Om arbeidsgiveren TMT is a not-for-profit organisation that was established in 2013 with the express purpose of collaborating with and assisting countries that have capacity and resource gaps to adequately identify, analyse and apply fisheries intelligence in their fisheries monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement (MCSE) operations. TMT collaborates with and provides intelligence, analysis, and capacity development support to governments and international organisations, in support of fisheries MCSE actions and broader improvements in fisheries governance. While we work with governments and organisations worldwide, particular focus is on targeting illegal fishing and associated crime in and near African waters and working with African coastal States.Our operations focus on collaborating with fisheries enforcement agencies and other relevant international partners. We conduct professional information gathering and analysis on illegal fishing and associated corruption, document and vessel identity fraud, fish laundering, labour abuse and other violations of relevant laws. We then provide results and recommendations to enforcement agencies and networks to enable the tracking and prosecution of the vessels and operators involved in these illegal fishing activities and related fisheries crimes. Our small, diverse, and excellent team come from a range of professional backgrounds and experiences, and originate from 10 different countries. While TMT’s head office is in Oslo, Norway, we also have offices in London in the UK, and Tema in Ghana, and individual staff work from other locations in Norway as well as from Belgium, Botswana, and Canada. Further recruitments for other locations, particularly in Africa, are in the works. The working language of TMT is English, but each day you will hear French and Norwegian commonly spoken, and several other language capabilities form a core part of our approach. Key communication and cooperation structures have been put in place to ensure that such a diversity of locations and people work effectively together, but the most important factor is that we have built a team that are very good at what they do, have a high level of respect for each other, and enjoy working together.For more information, please see www.tm-tracking.org
