CurrentShift

CurrentShift is a youth & women-led nonprofit dedicated in uplifting the fisherfolk communities & putting them at the heart of marine conservation. By combining programs guided by Science, deeply rooted in Stories, and grounded in Solidarity, we are dedicated in fundamentally shifting the currents of how we care for our oceans, coasts, and communities in order to advance just and sustainable small-scale fisheries, community-based conservation, and intentional science communication in the Philippines. We believe in scaling deeper alongside communities as we scale up to create more inclusive & grounded approaches to marine conservation by bridging both scientific data & local ecological knowledge as key drivers in policy discussions, global frameworks, & conservation efforts. Our 3S complements our 3Cs=Conversations for Community-based Conservation because CurrentShift believes that conservation is not only about protecting ecosystems, but a journey of care and return in nature.
