The Women-led Economic Business Group (KUEP) Rhizopora in Sarawet Village, North Minahasa District, now finds it easier to catch crabs as a source of family income, thanks to the support of boats and fishing gear provided through a collaborative program by CARE Indonesia and Yayasan Bumi Tangguh (YBT), funded by the Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) and supported by the Provincial Government of North Sulawesi.

KUEP Rhizopora remains strongly committed to protecting the mangrove ecosystem as a crucial habitat for crab growth to reach marketable size standards.
