In Tanzania, 11 out of 25 mainland regions rely on oceans, rivers, and lakes for survival. Fisheries-related activities support over 4 million people, providing income and food security. However, population pressure and climate change are accelerating habitat loss, depleting fish stocks, increasing aquatic pollution, and threatening the livelihoods of coastal and lacustrine communities. Without urgent intervention, these ecosystems and the people who depend on them face irreversible decline.

Action For Ocean (Formerly Aqua-Farms Organization) is committed to restoring marine and freshwater ecosystems, promoting environmentally friendly and economically competitive aquaculture, and enhancing sustainable fisheries. Through research-driven conservation, youth and women empowerment, and community-led solutions, hence ensuring a thriving blue economy that balances human well-being with aquatic biodiversity. We are safeguarding our waters and creating a resilient future for generations to come.
