Local leaders called upon to safeguard small-scale fishing

As members of Coastal 500, local government leaders from Mozambique, Guatemala and the Philippines explain why achieving 30x30 depends on empowering coastal communities, strengthening local governance, and investing in those delivering ocean protection on the ground.

“Coastal 500 flips the script,” explains Rocky Sanchez-Tirona, managing director for regional programs at Rare. “It shifts the heavy lifting of coastal management away from distant national offices and places it squarely in the hands of the communities who literally live and die by how their marine resources are managed.”
