Introducing Operation Jodari
Launched in early 2018, Operation Jodari is a campaign in partnership with the government of the United Republic of Tanzania to tackle illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing in the Western Indian Ocean region, with law enforcement agents from the Deep Sea Fishing Authority, Tanzanian Navy and the Multi-Agency Task Team (MATT) patrolling with Sea Shepherd crew on board the Ocean Warrior.
Sea Shepherd provided the Ocean Warrior with experienced crew, while the Tanzanian government provided 10 law enforcement agents (LEAs) from the Deep Sea Fishing Authority, Tanzanian Navy and the Multi-Agency Task Team (MATT). The LEAs have the authority to board, inspect and arrest vessels in violation of Tanzanian law. The MATT is led by the Tanzania Police Force and includes the Tanzania Forest Services, the Wildlife Division, Fisheries Division, Tanzania Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service. It was formed to target individuals and networks that control environmental crime and illegal trade in wildlife.

Arresting poachers
After six months of operations the first Operation Jodari, resulted in the arrest of two long-liners for illegally shark finning, 27 dhows for smuggling and the fining of 19 vessels that retreated from Tanzanian waters to avoid boardings and inspections.
After six months of operations the first Operation Jodari, resulted in the arrest of two long-liners for illegally shark finning, 27 dhows for smuggling and the fining of 19 vessels that retreated from Tanzanian waters to avoid boardings and inspections.
Patrolling areas of the Tanzanian exclusive economic zone (EEZ) previously out of reach of fisheries law enforcement, led to the early arrest of two foreign-flagged fishing vessels for illegal shark finning. On board one of those vessels, the F/V Buah Naga 1, Tanzanian law enforcement agents discovered an unlicensed firearm used by the captain to threaten his crew. The captain, the owner and the ship agent of the F/V Buah Naga 1 faced criminal charges.
Slide 9 - Slide
Avoiding inspection
The Tanzanian Multi-Agency Task Team believed that the 19 legally-licensed vessels fled Tanzanian waters because they were carrying out illegal shark-finning, despite being licensed only for the tuna fishery.
After the arrest of the two fishing vessels, a further 19 fishing vessels, from the same fleet, fled the waters of Tanzania to avoid being inspected. Avoiding mandatory inspection is against the law in Tanzania, so fines were levied against them totalling 19 billion Tanzanian Shillings (6,865,160 EUR). After these arrests and fines there was little to no observed fishing activity in Tanzanian waters.

Mangrove smugglers
The Ocean Warrior also monitored known smuggling routes between the island of Zanzibar and the mainland of Tanzania.
Despite the Tanzanian government’s best efforts to enforce wide protections of mangrove swamps, some areas have been exploited to such an extent that natural regeneration is impossible without law enforcement intervention. Busting timber smuggling operations at sea is an important part of that human intervention. Operation Jodari provided the intelligence used by law enforcement for several raids of shore based operations of the highly lucrative smuggling trade in mangrove timber.
Twenty-seven Dhows Arrested for Smuggling.
Dhows are traditional cargo boats commonly found trading in the Indian Ocean, 27 were arrested on numerous charges from smuggling illegal cargos of mangrove timber, to be sold on the black market, to the trafficking of persons.
Tanzanian law strictly protects mangrove forests, which are critical habitat for many species of shellfish and fin fish that spawn and nurse there, and thereby crucial to supporting the livelihoods of local communities, especially artisanal fishermen.
