CREATING HARMONY BETWEEN COASTAL COMMUNITIES AND THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT THEY DEPEND ON

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 

• secure and improve livelihoods

• protect the rights of small scale fishermen and their families

Collaborative Management Approach

We create, connect, catalyse and share Co managed initiatives by working with communities, relevant stakeholders and partners with our 4 pillar approach central to everything we do. These are Governance, Environmental, Economic and Social. ​

​

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

• understand and protect their rights

• Effectively manage a sustainable fishery
