Pleased to visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in South Africa, rich in biodiversity, and an example of how to use conservation, tech and education to preserve resources for present and future generations. We must protect natural resources and biodiversity for the #4Betters.

Disasters hit us all—but poor people are hit hardest. Without tools to prepare, they lose control over their future and become trapped in dependency.

So how do we change this?

A new FAO study in BARMM, Philippines, offers answers.

Diving into the heart of Kalk Bay’s fishing community to experience sustainable fishing up close! Abalobi’s tech helps fishers log their catch in real-time, bringing traceability from sea to table.

Celebrating #WomeninStatistics - @FAOfish's @SvannuFAO on #FisheriesStatistics complexities "Landing sites can be very dispersed, with catches recorded multiple times weekly & underwater fisheries resources complicating detection. While challenging, it's particularly rewarding!"

#IFISH6 Day 2 highlights:

🔹 Integrating safety needs in #fisheries management
🔹 Stressing Occupational Health & Safety in #aquaculture
🔹 Tailoring OHS for women in the sector
🔹 Need for cost-effective, scalable, & locally available solutions from shared practices by #SIDS

[Tina Barnes @TinaBarnesSea]

Lots of interesting speakers on fishing safety to listen to and learn from at the @FAOfish @ifishconf in Rome.

Seems the UK is not unique - lots of similar issues about wearing pfds, stability, decent work and lack of social protections in many parts of the world
