Innovative Finance (IF)

Local governments and community-led management bodies need to secure and allocate adequate funds in their budgets to manage coastal resources. 

Multiple sources of financing can be combined to satisfy the short, medium, and long-term resource needs of sustainable, coastal fisheries management.  Alternatives include unlocking pathways to direct national and provincial government funds, harnessing investments from private capital, or tapping into special-purpose funds, such as those earmarked for climate or disaster preparedness.
