Making the Blue Economy Work for Communities.

We bring local priorities into conversation to support healthier ecosystems, sustainable fisheries, and more resilient livelihoods.

OUR BELIEF

The Blue Economy starts with 'People' and 'Place'

The Blue Economy Organisation turns community knowledge into practical, evidence-informed action. We work alongside fishing and coastal communities across Tanzania to strengthen livelihoods, restore ecosystems, and support community-led decision-making.

Ecosystems recovery

Blue Economy Organisation works with communities to protect and restore rivers, lakes, wetlands and coastal waters. These ecosystems provide food, create jobs, support fish populations and protect communities from floods, erosion and other environmental threats.

Sustainable livelihoods

Aquatic products can create greater value when properly handled, processed and sold. Blue Economy Organisation supports local enterprises to grow their businesses, improve product quality, strengthen business skills and reach reliable markets for more stable incomes.

FishForward

Effective fisheries management supports fish populations, food security and the livelihoods. The FishForward program involves fishers and relevant partners in improving fisheries knowledge, and promoting responsible fishing practices.
