Helping fishers reclaim their space in the stewardship of the seas

Abalobi166 Views

The ongoing debates around sustainable fishing to conserve the dwindling South African fish species are usually conducted by politicians and scientists, with the exclusion of the fishers themselves who, for generations, have made a living from the sea – and whose impoverished communities are feeling the negative trickle-down effect of industrial overfishing on their livelihoods. Abalobi aims to bridge the divide between policymakers and small-scale fishers to create thriving coastal fishing communities through a technology ecosystem that supports fishers and fishing communities.
