COMMUNITY AND BIODIVERSITY

What is COBI?

Comunidad y Biodiversidad (COBI) was launched from the inspiration of a group of young people fascinated by marine life and concerned about the poverty levels in developing countries. The need to promote marine conservation and sustainable fisheries management was identified, always considering the necessity of working hand in hand with those who inhabit Mexico´s coastal communities. COBI was established on the 15th March 1999.

WHAT WE DO

Our purpose

The current and next generation of people engaged in fishing use and share their knowledge to design and implement solutions that achieve resilient coastal communities and healthy oceans.

To achieve this goal, we will implement 3 strategies:

01.

Innovate

300,000 fishers (men and women) share knowledge to co-create solutions.

02.

Connect

A network that incubates and accelerates financially sustainable solutions.

03.

Scale

Mexican fishers (men and women) inspire others in Latin America to use and develop solutions. Future generations are better informed and participate in the work to achieve resilient communities and healthy oceans.

WHERE DO WE DO IT?

Ecosystems and communities where we collaborate

For more than two decades, COBI in collaboration with women and men from 34 fishing communities in Mexico, have co-created demonstrative models to restore marine ecosystems and the fishery.
