Preserve Coastal Legacy, Generations' Benefit
- Engage and empower frontline communities living in coastal areas to actively participate in the protection of coral reefs and combat IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated) fishing.
- Mobilize civil society organizations to champion marine and coastal conservation policies and advocate for their effective implementation.
- Implement innovative and collaborative marine and coastal conservation projects with government agencies, local communities, and other stakeholders.
- Advocate for stronger government regulations and effective law enforcement mechanisms to combat IUU fishing and protect coral reefs.
Why this goal? Marine and coastal ecosystems are essential for the health of our planet. They provide food, shelter, and breeding grounds for many marine species. They also help to protect coastlines from erosion and flooding. However, marine and coastal ecosystems are under threat from a variety of human activities, including pollution, overfishing, IUU, and climate change. It is important to take action to protect these valuable ecosystems for future generations.
