COMMUNITY CONSERVATION

We have seen the value and profound impact of peer-to-peer exchange. This is one of the approaches we use to empower and strengthen coastal communities to: 

  • overcome adverse effects of climate change

  • restore the environment

  • improve depleted fish stocks

  • minimise the impact of development projects

  • create resilience in the face of an uncertain world

  • understand and protect their rights

  • Effectively manage a sustainable fishery
