Program areas at Rare
Rare's fish forever program is a global leader in reducing coastal overfishing and revitalizing coastal fisheries. Through a global network of 100 staff and over 150 local partners, fish forever mobilizes and strengthens community-led management of coastal fisheries. Through a replicable model rooted in behavioral science, fish forever promotes responsible fishing behavior among local fishers.
The innovative finance initiative of Rare's fish forever program empowers coastal communities to capture the benefits from effective coastal fisheries management and build their financial resilience to crises and shocks. We identify and break down barriers for fisher households and community-based businesses to access formal financial services, social safeguards, and legal protections. We work to strengthen the coastal fisheries' value chain and the relative share that fishers can capture from it. Our goal is to increase financing directed to sustainable fisheries management and the blue economy.
Rooted in behavioral science, Rare's us climate change program empowers americans to meaningfully contribute to reducing emissions by shifting their individual behavior and creating a critical mass in support of large scale, systemic change. The program is designed to engage americans at work, on their mobile devices, in their entertainment streams, and in their communities around how they eat, travel, and consume energy.
