KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay Inc has partnered with The Nature Conservancy, to advance sustainable fishing practices in The Gulf of Mexico.
The Texas Fisheries & Coastal Resilience Program aims to curb overfishing, habitat damage and bycatch (the incidental capture of non-target species during commercial fishing).
The programme will support fishery management to restore and maintain aquatic ecosystems, while also fostering innovation, community collaboration and policies that enable sustainability across the Gulf.
As more people are drawn to coastal states for their booming economies, the way they sustain growth will directly impact the health of their natural resources.
“We each have a responsibility to do our part in protecting the most valuable resource on the planet: our oceans,” said Mary Kay chief operating officer, Deb Gibbins.
“It is our hope that by partnering with The Nature Conservancy, Mary Kay will be able to advance ecosystems and biodiversity conservation.”
Founded in 1951, The Nature Conservancy is the leading conservation organisation, working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people.
