Small actors are the engine of aquatic food systems but are often neglected by policymakers and markets. Actively including & empowering small-scale actors in blue food governance can lead to more effective policies and improved food system outcomes. #BetterChoices

“Our main goal must be to maintain the bounty of the sea for future generations.”

Check out the story ⬇️ of Suresh who started his #fishing career in a small dugout canoe 30 yrs ago. He now owns a trawler boat but still goes fishing in a canoe.

[WWF-India @WWFINDIA]

Once he realised how destructive trawl fishing can be, he knew something had to change.

Globally, women are committed to healthier oceans. María believes women have a crucial role in making their coastal communities more sustainable: “Women in fishing communities have to increase our knowledge for the future of our livelihood." https://t.co/Ss1cnii3ZF
