Abstract

Enhanced Coastal Fisheries in Bangladesh (ECOFISH) was a 5-year initiative that ended on December 31, 2019. Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the project was jointly implemented by WorldFish and Bangladesh’s Department of Fisheries (DOF). ECOFISH supported coastal fishing communities and other stakeholders along the fisheries value chain to improve the resilience of the Meghna River ecosystem and communities reliant on coastal fisheries. The project’s primary pathway was establishing adaptive co-management in hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) sanctuaries. This was supported by advancement in fisheries science, promoting alternative income generating activities (AIGAs) and developing policies related to incentives for fisheries conservation. This report summarizes the results, accomplishments, impacts and lessons learned throughout the duration of the project, from 2014 to 2019.
