Nature-based coastal livelihoods, including seaweed, that give coastal families a stake in healthy nearshore waters.
01The challenge
Coastal families depend on nearshore waters that are under pressure from pollution, overuse and warming seas. Women do much of the fish processing work but rarely hold decision-making roles.
Exploring seaweed cultivation and seaweed-based products as livelihoods that take nothing from the land and support healthier coastal waters.
Building a skilled coastal workforce of women, with a path into management, not just processing.
03Community
Developed with coastal women's groups and fishing communities.
“Our beach is cleaner and the fish are back!”
04Impact
