Coast 2 Coast Movement is a dynamic and youth-driven organization that works closely with vulnerable small-scale fishing communities. Their mission is to share the compelling stories of these communities before they vanish. Through their unique approach of audiovisual storytelling and creative arts, they aim to build social-ecological resilience in marginalized areas from coast to coast.

Coast 2 Coast engages rural youth from fishing communities as resilient researchers and skilled communicators. They use accessible visual arts and multimedia tools to co-create stories rooted in traditional knowledge and fortified by science. By exploring ancient seas and ancestral villages, they bring attention to the challenges faced by these communities.

Founded by Emi Koch, a marine social-ecologist, and Nicolás Landa Tami, a cinematographer, Coast 2 Coast serves as a platform for vulnerable fishing communities to celebrate their existence and communicate their experiences to the outside world. By partnering with local educational institutions, they empower youth to become proactive agents of positive change. Coast 2 Coast also collaborates with various local and global community partners who share their vision of sustainable futures for coastal communities.

Through their workshops, festivals, productions, research, and programs, Coast 2 Coast strives to create a powerful impact and foster healthy relationships from local to global levels. Join Coast 2 Coast Movement in supporting these communities, and together, let's make a difference
