This project aims to strengthen civil society engagement in conservation and fisheries governance to promote transparency, inclusion and sustainability through increased fishers representation in fisheries decision-making. By strengthening the institutional management of fisher-led civil society organisations (CSOs), supporting participation in decision making, increasing capacity to promote a human rights based marine management approach, and strengthening capacity for participatory marine management, this project will improve the livelihoods of around 1,500 small-scale fishers, fish stocks, coral reef system, and larger ecosystem.
