The traditional knowledge and wisdom of coastal communities is of crucial importance for keeping healthy marine ecosystems, but frequently this knowledge and the communities' rights to manage coastal resources are not recognized. Here you will find personal stories and solutions for protecting the coastlines and associated livelihoods. We aim to amplify these voices, generate a network of supporters and contribute to a global movement for promoting and accelerating coastal community-led solutions.

Monitoring and evaluation can help practitioners maintain awareness about their projects. Explore methods and tools that can help you track and report your impact, demonstrate successes and evaluate the efficacy of your work. Use the filters on the right to sort resources by category.

There are many other organisations out there working on coastal community led conservation and they have developed useful tools, learning and sharing platforms, capacity building materials and several other resources that you can use to support your project. Here we list some of the key ones for your work on the ground.
