About us
The Oceans Alive team collectively has over 60 years of experience in community-based management of marine resources in East Africa. We share our knowledge with coastal fishing communities to:
-
safeguard biodiversity
-
ensure the sustainability of marine ecosystems
-
protect fisheries and coral reefs
Collaborative Management Approach
We are in a unique position to share our approach in Locally Managed Marine Areas (LMMA’s) and co-managed areas (CMA's).
Community Conservation
We have seen the value and deep 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
-
minimize the impact of development projects
-
create resilience for other unforeseen occurrences such as COVID 19
