STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE


Kingfisher strives to identify and fund projects where a modest strategic investment has the potential for significant conservation impact by changing behavior, shifting the debate, or establishing an effective new idea as status quo.

Promote fisheries management regimes that directly link fishing profits to long-term health and resiliency of fish populations and the ecosystems necessary to sustain them.

Enable and accelerate transition to better fisheries practices by supporting groups offering innovative financing, risk management and policy incentives that balance short term costs and risks of change with long term gains from better management and healthier fish populations.

Provide financial, intellectual and capacity support to effective leaders from a variety of stakeholder groups who champion promising ideas and approaches reflecting relevant scientific, political and economic realities.
