Our Pillars For Impact
We aim to strengthen the existing network of marine management areas by establishing fisheries replenishment zones to enhance fishery productivity, community livelihoods, and climate resilience.
Community-led Management
Empowering local communities to take the lead in managing critical fish habitats is a cornerstone of the USAID Heshimu Bahari project. We provide the necessary tools, training, and support to ensure that communities have the knowledge and resources to effectively oversee and protect their marine environments. This participatory approach not only fosters a sense of ownership but also ensures that management practices are tailored to the specific needs and conditions of each area.
Science-Base Decision
The USAID Heshimu Bahari project is committed to improving the quality of decisions made regarding marine management areas through the application of robust scientific data. By leveraging the latest research and technological advancements, we aim to ensure that the policies and strategies implemented are grounded in solid scientific evidence, thereby enhancing the productivity and sustainability of fisheries and marine ecosystems.
Community Economic
We work to create opportunities for women in coastal communities to engage in sustainable economic activities related to marine resources. By supporting women’s involvement in fisheries and related industries, we aim to enhance their economic independence and contribute to the overall resilience and well-being of their communities.
Resilience To Climate Risk
Building the resilience of coastal communities and businesses to climate risks is essential for the long-term sustainability of marine ecosystems. The USAID Heshimu Bahari project implements strategies to help communities adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Through education, innovative practices, and the development of climate-resilient infrastructure, we strive to safeguard both the livelihoods of coastal populations and the health of marine habitats.
