Objectives

1. Strengthen Fisheries Governance

o Enhance enforcement of fishing regulations by collaborating with local governments and

law enforcement.

o Introduce a digital monitoring system to track industrial and artisanal fishing activity in
real time.

2. Promote Sustainable Fishing Practices

o Provide training and resources to artisanal fishers on sustainable fishing techniques and
proper gear usage.

o Introduce a licensing system that caps the number of fishing vessels to sustainable
limits.

3. Rebuild Marine Ecosystems

o Implement habitat restoration projects, such as artificial reefs, to support fish breeding
and biodiversity.

o Introduce seasonal no-fishing zones to allow fish stocks to regenerate.

4. Diversify Livelihoods for Artisanal Fishers

o Offer alternative livelihood programs like aquaculture, eco-tourism, and seaweed

farming.

o Provide micro-loans and skills training to promote economic resilience.

5. Raise Awareness and Build Community Engagement

o Launch a grassroots awareness campaign on the importance of sustainable fishing.

o Establish fisher cooperatives to encourage community-led marine resource

management.

6. Leverage Technology for Sustainable Fishing

o Deploy a smartphone app to educate fishers about fishing zones, regulations, and
sustainable practices.

o Integrate GPS and satellite technology to ensure compliance with depth restrictions and
fishing zones.

Key Activities

1. Policy and Governance

 o Collaborate with government bodies to strengthen enforcement of industrial trawler
restrictions and banned nets.

o Establish a marine fisheries management council with representation from fishers,

NGOs, and policymakers.

2. Capacity Building

o Conduct workshops on sustainable fishing for coastal communities.

o Train enforcement agencies in using monitoring technologies and community reporting

systems.

3. Ecosystem Restoration

o Deploy artificial reefs and mangrove restoration to enhance fish habitats.

o Partner with marine biologists to identify critical breeding areas for protection.

4. Economic Development

o Create pilot projects for income diversification (e.g., oyster or seaweed farming).

o Develop market linkages for alternative products produced by fisher families.

Expected Outcomes

 Ecological Impact:

o Fish stocks and biodiversity recover due to reduced overfishing and habitat restoration.

o Marine ecosystems regain balance, with larger species returning to habitats.

 Economic and Social Impact:

o Increased income stability for artisanal fishers through diversified livelihoods.

o Improved food security and reduced reliance on overfishing.

 Institutional Impact:

o Effective enforcement of marine regulations ensures long-term sustainability.

o Empowered fishing communities actively participate in marine resource management.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)

The project's progress will be monitored through:

 Fish stock assessments conducted annually.

 Feedback and livelihood surveys from fisher communities.

  Compliance tracking via digital monitoring systems.

Funding and Partnerships

Blue Resilience will seek funding from international donors, environmental grants, and CSR initiatives.
Collaboration with local NGOs, government agencies, and marine research institutions will be critical to
the project’s success.

Project Name: “Blue Resilience: Restoring Bangladesh’s Marine Ecosystems”

Project Overview

The Blue Resilience initiative seeks to restore ecological balance in Bangladesh’s marine ecosystems
while ensuring sustainable livelihoods for coastal communities. This project will employ a holistic,
community-centered approach integrating ecological restoration, sustainable fishing practices, and
socio-economic empowerment. The goal is to reverse marine ecosystem degradation, rebuild fish
stocks, and foster long-term resilience among artisanal fishers.
