By 2030, small-scale fisheries are sustainably managed, contributing to the resilience, food security and livelihoods of coastal communities in the region. Furthermore, by 2030, 20 million hectares are effectively managed by empowered coastal communities, restoring 9,400 ha of mangroves and building the climate resilience and food security of 2.6 million people.

By 2030, ecosystem-based fisheries management is being used to ensure the long-term sustainability of important fisheries in the SWIO region while benefiting local communities and economies in target countries. This will be measured by tracking Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna as a flagship species and monitoring its recovery against a 2022 baseline. Recovery of the species would signal improved regional fisheries governance.

By 2030, the foundations are in place to mobilise US$250 million in investments into an inclusive and sustainable blue economy.

By 2030, integrated ocean governance has optimised the value of the SWIO region for future generations.
