Country/Region: Zanzibar
Half of the world's population lives along seashores. The coastal regions are overexploited and further weakened by climate change. Coral reefs are dying, the marine fauna is impoverished, and local communitiess are struggling to survive.
marinecultures.org initiates small-scale conservation projects: We support people around Zanzibar in the development of ecological aquaculture. Together with local communities and authorities we carry out activities to protect and restore marine ecosystems.
Our projects are developed in collaboration with experts. They are financed by donations and foundations. And around Zanzibar they secure a sustainable livelihood for a growing number of families.
