Fish Forever Essentials
Brazil’s Atlantic coastline—stretching almost 5,000 miles—holds the world’s largest contiguous mangrove area and vast coastal waters that support more than a million coastal, small-scale fishers.
Fish Forever in Brazil has established a network of collaborators who were decisive in overcoming the challenges for the reform of coastal fisheries in the country. Only through networking, it was possible to advance the agenda and influence the legal. The challenges of the small-scale fisheries agenda are complex and interconnected between social, economic and environmental dimensions. In this sense, the program has a systemic approach that, together with partners, aims to establish local solutions to the global problem of sustainable fishing.
