PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Bangladesh's diverse marine and coastal areas, with their mangrove and swamp forests, secure the livelihoods of millions of people, for example through fishing. However, they are threatened by population growth, environmental pollution, overfishing, and climate change. Despite important progress, there are still too few measures to protect and environmentally friendly use these ecosystems.
In selected communities in Bangladesh, marine and coastal areas are better protected, restored, and used in an environmentally friendly way.
The project is taking the following measures to secure ecosystems and livelihoods in the long term:
- It is training the relevant authorities in coastal management. It is also promoting inter-agency cooperation and digital technologies for documentation.
- At the same time, the project is providing advice and training on future-oriented sources of income such as environmentally friendly fishing and seaweed cultivation, with a particular focus on involving women and young people.
- The project is also sensitizing local communities to the importance of ecosystems and protected areas. It is promoting public participation in decisions regarding the management and use of marine and coastal ecosystems.
