Fish Forever Essentials
As the world’s largest island country— Indonesia has the second longest coastline, one of the largest tracks of mangroves, and the second-largest area of coral reefs in the world. The coastal fishers and fisheries that depend on these essential natural assets form a key part of the nation’s cultural heritage and economy. 80 percent of Indonesia’s fishers are small-scale, coastal fishers using small boats to fish in nearshore areas for food and income.
Fish Forever in Indonesia works with fishing villages, district and provincial governments to build and strengthen community-based coastal fisheries management of provincial waters.
