Foundation Ensemble funds sustainable fishing projects that closely link protection of fish stocks and conservation of ecosystems with protection of marine species and the well-being of local populations. The actions undertaken should help the beneficiary families and future generations to ensure their own food security and to find new local income-generating activities.
Applications should be made to implement project activities in one of the following focus countries – Mozambique, Cambodia, Laos, Ecuador, Peru, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia and Cape Verde.
Major Factors
