OBJECTIVES
Exploring fishers’ knowledge for integration in the monitoring, management, sustainable use and protection of pelagic biodiversity
METHODOLOGIES
Our comprehensive approach is built on a thorough literature review, complemented by data from questionnaires, interviews, focus group discussions, and multi-stakeholder workshops, with an additional focus on analyzing fishing log-books.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
- Overview of organization of fishery, fishing practices and targeted species
- Local indicators of biodiversity
- Information on targeted and observed species, temporal trends (e.g. in species abundance), perceptions of environmental changes and local understandings of their causes
- Different values of species to local fishers
- Factsheet: Local fishers’ knowledge around AFADs in each of the three study areas.
