The Coastal Fisheries Initiative (CFI) is a global effort to preserve marine resources, making sure fishing is done in a way that keeps the environment healthy. To date, the CFI has helped save 700 hectares of mangrove forests in Côte d'Ivoire and Senegal. In Indonesia, they're teaching people how to fish responsibly in areas that cover over 1.6 million square kilometers of ocean. We can only bring about such transformation if we work together.
