FAO supports coastal communities in Mozambique to restore marine ecosystems, protect fisheries resources, and strengthen livelihoods. With funding from the Government of Sweden, these communities are adopting responsible fishing practices and restoring vital mangrove forests.

They are also developing alternative income opportunities, such as beekeeping and poultry production, particularly during fishing closure periods. These efforts reduce pressure on marine resources, improve household incomes and resilience, and contribute to a sustainable future through FAO's Blue Transformation approach.
