Sustainable fishing practices, training, and income resilience for fishing families.
Community stewardship
We work with local fishers and community leaders to manage reserves through shared responsibility.
Evidence-based protection
We use community data, local knowledge, and monitoring to guide practical conservation decisions.
Long-term resilience
We strengthen local systems so fish reserves continue delivering ecological and economic value over time.
Our mission
Build thriving coastal ecosystems through community-led reserves.
We connect conservation practice with the daily realities of coastal families, so protection efforts stay useful, trusted, and sustainable.
CoFiRe-Network works with coastal communities, local institutions, and conservation partners to protect fish breeding grounds, restore marine habitats, and improve stewardship of shared waters.
Our approach combines community organizing, reserve management, environmental education, and livelihood support so conservation efforts remain practical and locally owned.
