Building resilience in coastal communities: How Blue Ventures is using KoboToolbox to drive marine conservation and improve digital equality

Small-scale fishing is one of the world’s most important sources of food, but it remains one of the least digitized sectors, making it challenging to effectively manage fisheries and protect the biodiversity of marine life. Blue Ventures, a marine conservation organization, is using KoboToolbox to support remote and rural coastal communities to monitor fisheries themselves with access to real-time data and insights. Blue Ventures’ work in Madagascar, Indonesia, Timor-Leste, and Comoros shows how KoboToolbox can be used to drive community-led action for change and protect the coastal environment for future generations.
