Fish Forever
Healthy coastal fisheries are vital to the food security, economic prosperity, and climate resilience of coastal communities around the world. Through our Fish Forever program, Rare works with fishers to revitalize coastal fisheries, and partners with local leaders, governments, funders, and NGOs to empower local communities to manage them sustainably.

The Community SeasFish Forever focuses on revitalizing coastal waters, where high human activity meets high biodiversity. We call these the “Community Seas” as they are critical to the food security, livelihoods, and climate resilience of communities around the world. |

30×30 & community-led managementTo protect 30 percent of the ocean by 2030, we need to expand the ocean conservation toolbox and enable local communities to lead in the sustainable management of the ocean. |

Local leadershipMayors and other local leaders are key to implementing protections for communities and ecosystems. The Coastal 500 initiative, supported by Rare, is the largest global network of mayors and local government leaders committed to working towards thriving and prosperous coastal communities. |
