The ARMS Resilience project is tackling the issue of food insecurity in Southwest Madagascar, exacerbated by recurring droughts and climate stressors. Collaborating with Indigenous communities, the project is restoring coral reefs and enhancing marine food yields to bolster the local food supply.

By integrating environmental, ecological, agricultural, fisheries, and human data, ARMS Resilience is developing a decision framework that combines traditional scientific and Indigenous knowledge to meet nutritional needs. The project’s transdisciplinary approach focuses on capacity building, research, and empowering local communities to address both environmental and food security challenges. Through these efforts, ARMS Resilience aims to enhance the climate resilience of coral reefs and ensure a sustainable food source for a region facing the impacts of climate challenges.
