The Tide We Turn: How Mozambique’s fishers are protecting the ocean

October 22, 2025

Along Mozambique’s coast, small-scale fishers face shifting tides — stronger cyclones, dwindling catches, and threatened marine ecosystems. In this film, community leaders Muaija, Juma and Jubeta share how they are reviving mangroves, creating marine reserves, organizing savings clubs, and strengthening local fisheries management.

Together with Rare, these fishers are protecting the ocean that sustains them, uplifting women’s leadership, and building resilience for generations to come.

This short film is part of Rare’s Mozambique Stories collection, featuring fisher leaders Muaija, Juma, and Jubeta — three voices of resilience and hope along Mozambique’s coast.
