 Welcome to Aquaculture without Frontiers Minimize

FWhile father and son are catching fish mother is dressing the fish on pond site itself to make fish ready for cooking.jpgounded in 2004 by Michael New, OBE Aquaculture without Frontiers (AwF) is an independent non-profit organisation that promotes and supports responsible and sustainable aquaculture and the alleviation of poverty by improving livelihoods in developing countries. Aquaculture without Frontiers [AwF] is registered as a non-profit organization in the USA and Aquaculture without Frontiers (UK) [AwF (UK)] as a charity in the UK.  

AwF has been established for the specific purpose of promoting and supporting responsible and sustainable aquaculture to assist in poverty alleviation through improving rural livelihoods in developing and transition countries. In its work, AwF draws on the experience of respected professionals from every relevant discipline. AwF has a large database of volunteers.

AwF is unique in devoting all of its resources and attention to aquaculture; however, it does not seek to promote aquaculture in isolation, but as a component of integrated rural and coastal development plans, and of strategies to alleviate poverty.

The following newspaper article is reprinted from the 'Maidenhead Advertiser' (17 July 2008). 'Donald Duck' (aka Mick Varley), with his colleagues 'Tigger' (aka Eleanor) and Jenny sold over £600 worth of raffle tickets during the party for prizes donated by the local community. Councillor Suzanne Brown chaired the street committee that organised the event and invited the Marlow Town Mayor to open it. Laura & Anthony Brondbjerg raised nearly £400 by auctioning donated items. All food and entertainment was donated by street residents, except for the drinks and the roast meat. Participants bought tickets at £25 each for adults (£15 for seniors and £10 for children). Ticket printing and the band were kindly provided and donated by Adam Budd. Jon Bell donated his time and equipment as the DJ and provided two raffle prizes worth £500 each from the Honda garage where he works.
