The project will build capacity for and will contribute to strengthening the implementation of the ecosystem approach in the national and local management of coastal environment and fisheries, where measures for sustainable use, protection, and restoration of coastal and marine habitats and resources, combined with livelihood interventions, will be developed together with local communities to improve resilience of coastal ecosystems, food security and livelihoods, protect biodiversity and reinforce participation in the management of natural resources, for youth, women, and men in coastal fishing communities. Therefore, the project is organized into four main components:
Component 3: Cooperation and coordination between fisheries and environmental policy frameworks and managers, and community involvement strengthened
