The project has contributed to IPSI strategic objective 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 through undertaking behavior change communication on sustainable coastal resource management for improved SEPLS and to initiate improvement of actions to enhance sustainable coastal resource management. Further to this, the project also focuses on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework which seek to address  the Global challenges on  Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services with the aim to halt and reverse biodiversity loss to achieve the outcomes it sets out in its Vision, Mission, Goals and Targets, and thereby contribute actions and results-oriented which aim to guide and promote, at all levels, the revision, development, updating, and implementation of policies, goals, targets, and national biodiversity strategies and actions plans. It also facilitates the monitoring and review of progress at all levels in a more transparent and responsible manner. Thus, this project aims to empower coastal communities within Lake Malombe Area to sustainably manage their own marine resources, resulting in productive and profitable fisheries, coastal ecosystem conservation and resilience to climate change and this is in line with the IPIS objective and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework since The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework stress that “Nature can be conserved, restored and used sustainably while other global societal goals are simultaneously met through urgent and concerted efforts aimed at fostering transformative changes. The most important achievement of this project is the demarcation of a fisheries recovery zone which would serve as a mean of enhancing both fisheries recruitment as well as protecting the habitat of aquatic species.
