Tanzania’s seaweed farmers bring the ocean’s bounty to the world
Climate change is making seaweed farming off Tanzania’s coast a challenge – but IFAD is supporting seaweed farmers so they can adapt to this new normal.
The IFAD-supported Artisanal Fisheries Promotion Project (ProPESCA) was implemented to improve the livelihoods of artisanal fishers and their communities living along Mozambique’s coastline.
In operation from 2010 to 2019, the project covered all seven coastal provinces and reached more than 55,000 households. Project activities supported the development of higher value fish, improved economic infrastructure, created financial services, strengthened institutions and improved nutrition.
