A simple system that aligns governance, ecosystem recovery, and livelihoods to deliver lasting ocean impact.
Agreements that define ownership and benefit sharing.
Livelihoods that make conservation sustainable.
Community led protection, monitoring, and restoration.

The AFO 3C Model is the engine of our strategy. It aligns Compact (clear rules and rights), Custodianship (community-led stewardship of marine ecosystems), and Capital (sustainable livelihoods and economic resilience) into a single operating system. Combining these three elements together, the 3C Model is turning conservation into durable, community-owned impact on the ground.
Join us as we scale locally designed models that restore the ocean and renew livelihoods across Tanzania’s coastlines.
