IMA International’s longest collaboration with a collection of partners, has developed the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) training. 

Since its pilot training in Malaysia in 2013, this project has been developed and adapted, translated into multiple languages and delivered to governments and organisations in 13 countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Malawi, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and Thailand.
IMA is proud to have worked successfully with multiple partners and local communities on this project to deliver a well-informed and useful training course that has raised awareness about fisheries management, led to government level policy change, and inspired positive behaviour change.

IMA international is proud to have established several mutually beneficial projects in collaboration with the University of Sussex. 

Our shared values: inspiring positive behaviour change, inclusivity, and continuous learning, underpin our informal partnership.

These collaborative projects include a range of initiatives, including:

- Summer internship opportunities.
- Ambitious about Autism internship placements.
- One-year placements for current students and recent graduates.
- Offering case study opportunities for master's students

Chris Grose, IMA’s Managing Director, also actively contributes by providing formal mentoring for business and marketing students and been a judge on a Dragon’s Den style presentation competition, for student groups studying entrepreneurship and business skills courses.

At IMA, we care deeply about the planet and giving back to nature, so we are thrilled to share that we have partnered with One Tree Planted to plant lots of trees!

One Tree Planted is a 501(c)(3) non profit on a mission to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees. Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife. Reforestation helps to rebuild forests after fires and floods, provide jobs for social impact, and restore biodiversity. Many projects have overlapping objectives, creating a combination of benefits that contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. To learn more, visit www.onetreeplanted.org

We are always looking for new ways to make our own contribution to the global effort of supporting the environment. So, with One Tree Planted, we hope to make a positive impact on the environment by supporting restoration of habitats and ecosystems.
We donate one tree for every participant on our open and tailored training courses as well as donating extra trees throughout the year.
