Coastal Environmental and Fisheries or CEF for short is a small Non-Governmental Organization that was built since 2020 because of the concern of two young stakeholder about the coastal conservation and the coastal livelihood.
Started in East Lombok, now CEF has successfully spread our influence to all region across West Nusa Tenggara from Lombok-Sumbawa-Bima for their livelihood program by encouraging the people in the coastal area to create MSME’s as their livelihood.
CEF also has successfully have several collaboration and granted some prize from worldwide NGO and Indonesia Oil and Gas company (Pertamina) and has won several awards from Local/nationwide NGO competition.
CEF main Focus were mostly in Conservation and Livelihood of the coastal area as our NGO name to bear. Our Conservation Project is led by Our Director; Muslihuddin Aini, who is also a lecturer at University of Gunung Rinjani in East Lombok after finishing his masteral degree. With CEF, he already working on several conservation such as mangrove conservation in East Lombok, Fish Conservation in several area in Lombok, and still researching for endangered turtle conservation in Sekotong, West Nusa Tenggara
On livelihood, CEF program is led directly by our Finance director; Zia Zannititah Pawana who is also a sustainable young businessman in Lombok who was really concern about the poverty that hit people in mostly coastal environment. So, with his passion in business he planned to help our Poklahsar to built a sustainable business for themselves and empower our women to be able to stand on their feet.
With that livelihood Idea, our Finance director comes with the idea of Wishfood that is a brand that represent the product of our Poklahsar that we have trained. With the idea of bringing the kindness of the Sea to your table, Wishfood with our Poklahsar have strived and serve nationwide.
CEF as a local and Small NGO still trying to give our best to help in solving the environmental and societal issues that has been lingering since long ago. Our dream is to improve the quality of our society that later on will have awareness to take care of the environment. Although it sounds cliche, but together it will be easier to do.
We inspire to help many more people and to make change for the better wherever we are. Our Earth and everything in it, is our responsibility to take care of for every living being to live in.
