Plastic pollution costs small-scale fishers in Vietnam an average of $3,421 per vessel annually in damaged gear and lost catch. A proposed "fishing for litter" initiative could turn the tide, requiring just $60 per vessel per year to pay fishers for collecting marine waste. Carolyn Cowan reports.

Char Jatin, Monpura, #Bangladesh, was once a major fishing hub, with over 100 #large boats operating in the Bay of Bengal. Today, only around 100 #small and #medium boats remain, reflecting possible declines in fish availability and rising fishing & operating costs. #conservation matters!

Joined the @bimradbd workshop on Integrating Marine Protected Aria (MPA) into Marine Spatial Planning as a panelist. My talk on "Towards Just and Inclusive Seascapes: Insights from Small-Scale Fisheries" highlighted why #Fishers must be recognized as key partners in MSP. @worldfish.bsky.social

Women Community Volunteers can play a vital role in improving the #livelihoods of #MPA-dependent small-scale fishers while strengthening #conservation. The Sustho Sagor (Healthy Ocean) Project, supported by the @blueactionfund.org, is working with MPA-impacted small-scale #fishing communities.
