    Coastal fisheries are vital to millions of people, providing healthy food and supporting livelihoods. The Coastal Fisheries Initiative (CFI) aims to make coastal fisheries more sustainable and inclusive, addressing the pressures unsustainable practices that affect marine environments, including precious ecosystems like mangroves and coral reefs. By enhancing policy frameworks, strengthening capacity, and fostering partnerships, CFI works to preserve marine resources, ensuring coastal fisheries continue contributing to food security and socio-economic development. In Cabo Verde, the CFI collaborated with the government to develop the first National Gender Strategy for Fisheries, ensuring women's inclusion in decision-making. The initiative also supported 526 fisherfolk across seven associations helping them register as public utilities, enabling access to local benefits. In Côte d’Ivoire, in partnership with the NGO Afrique Verte Environnement, the CFI restored 350 hectares of mangroves in Fresco and Sassandra. Local communities, especially women, were trained in mangrove planting techniques, with awareness campaigns highlighting mangroves' ecological importance. In Ecuador, the CFI worked with a cooperative of 65 artisanal mahi-mahi fishers to qualify for traceability labels by installing cameras and electronic logbooks on fishing boats.
