Overview

ABALOBI’s vision is to cultivate thriving, equitable and climate-resilient small-scale fishing communities globally— through financial inclusion, collective social entrepreneurship and data-driven fisheries rebuilding.

We support data collection and skills-building with fisher communities, NGOs and governments. Through our Fish With A Story platform, we connect fisher groups and cooperatives with fair local and global markets, as well as linked financial services.

Our approach stimulates co-management, implements fisheries improvement programmes, and uses innovative data, traceability and market technologies to position small-scale fishers for social, economic and ecological sustainability.

We believe in participatory strategies for fisheries rebuilding that consider ocean life and livelihoods.
