Coastal and Ocean Resilience

GERF actively collaborates with its stakeholders and other organizations to address the critical issues affecting our oceans. Our primary focus is on protecting the ocean from pollution and exploitation. Through combined efforts, we have successfully organized numerous clean-up initiatives, specifically targeting the removal of plastics that pose a threat to the marine creatures.

In addition to these clean up efforts, we contribute valuable insights to the BMU (Beach Management Unit) on the effective beach maintanance practices. Our hands-on approach extends to activities like mangrove planting, further emphasizing our commitment to ecological preservation. Recognizing the challenges faced by local fishermen, we go beyond traditional conservation measures. We assist fishermen in minimizing their environmental impact by providing alternative income solutions. This involves equipping them with proper tools for sustainable fishing practices, thereby contributing to the extensive goal of reducing overfishing and promoting a healthier marine ecosystem. 

At GERF, we believe in fostering a harmonious relationship between communities and the ocean through practical and collaborative initiatives.
