Living in a #fishing community for many years taught me that #fishers should be viewed as key to the solution, not vilified as the problem

Building an ‘ocean literate’ community empowers #fisherfolk to advocate for their #rights, #livelihood, and #traditions, and therefore progresses #BlueJustice

[FisherFolkFirst @FisherFolkFirst]

#OceanLiteracy is fundamental to our work and a key component of empowering small-scale fishing communities. We are proud to join the #BlueThread network, a @IocUnesco recognition for initiatives putting #OceanLiteracyinAction
