It’s never been a better time to join the Fish Forever team and become part of an innovative movement to transform near-shore fisheries on a global level. Fish Forever has a suite of high value objectives: boosting fish stocks; increasing the economic value of fisheries; feeding millions of vulnerable people; protecting the most biologically diverse reefs, sea grasses, and mangroves; providing climate change resilience; and building local leadership capacity to ensure sustainability. Together with our partners at Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), Rare is already making strides towards promoting widespread sustainable fishing practices in multiple countries.

Company History
Rare is a $24 million fast-growing, international conservation organization that accelerates the adoption of proven, sustainable behaviors, resolving intractable problems that affect both people and nature.
Rare believes that conservation comes down to people—their behaviors toward nature, their beliefs about its value and their ability to protect it without sacrificing basic life needs. Conservationists must become as skilled in social change as in science; as committed to community-based solutions as national and international policy making. Rare and its partners in 50+ countries throughout these regions are committed to designing conservation programs that benefit both people and nature – ensuring that change is embraced and sustained.
Our programs are designed to benefit people and nature. We train and support local conservation leaders to implement Pride campaigns, which are social marketing campaigns that inspire people to take pride in the species and habitats that make their communities unique, while also giving them alternatives to environmentally destructive behaviors such as overfishing, illegal logging, unsustainable agriculture and poaching.
Rare is at an exciting inflection point in its history, embarking on its first global initiative: Fish Forever. Fish Forever responds to the collapse of worldwide fisheries, leading to threats to biodiversity, food security, livelihoods, and climate adaptation. As a result, we’ve assembled three compatible organizations, Rare, Environmental Defense Fund, and the University of California Santa Barbara, to form a global effort to transform the way coastal fisheries are managed in the developing tropics
