This is a significant for me after completing my PhD at the University of Technology Sydney and joining the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) GmbH a year ago. This opens great possibilities to collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers around the world.

Exciting news! Together with Prof. @AchimSchluter as Co-PIs, we have successfully secured 1/2 million euros of research funding from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation. This funding is part of an international consortium project (see 👇👇👇)

[Dr Raymond Ayilu @RayAyilu]

The FMFO is shown to be a substantial source of #greenhousegases (GHG) of fisheries origin. The project would aim to understand the potential outcomes related to #climatechange and #socialjustice through mass-balance #modelling in addition to #institutional and #governance change

[Dr Raymond Ayilu @RayAyilu]

The projects span across #India, #EastAfrica, and #WestAfrica. The West Africa project (#Mauritania, #Senegal, #Ghana), will concentrate on how to redirect small fish from fish meal/oil (#FMFO) production- a significant risk to the region's food security - to human consumption.

Reimagining Food Systems for Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation, and Social Justice”, comprises research partners from the University of Manitoba, funded by New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF)) and the University of Bergen (UiB), funded by Research Council of Norway (RCN)

🚨 New Publication Alert 🚨

Except for few cooperation (most of which are exploitative), industrial and SSF relations are conflictual. We show in this paper that conflict acts both as a tool and a symptom of #blueeconomy exclusion in #marine fisheries https://t.co/BKJ0tbKhZy

[Dr Raymond Ayilu @RayAyilu]

I am excited to share my first sole-authored publication being the third paper of my PhD. In context of the growing #BlueEconomy, this paper examines the difficulties facing #SSF in Ghana's port communities. Free download for the next 50 days. Click link https://t.co/VXbz7f3wDA

[Dr Raymond Ayilu @RayAyilu]

Excited to begin 2023. Together with ⁦@MichaelFabinyi⁩ ⁦@SocialFisheries,⁩ we argue in this paper that contrary to the rhetoric of innovation, the blue economy for maritime fishing is more abt industrialisation, with impacts on coastal fishing https://t.co/xb50OFQZBN

[GIJN Africa @gijnAfrica]

A new investigation by @ejfoundation reveals how rampant illegal fishing & overfishing by Chinese-owned industrial trawlers, & a culture of corruption threaten fisheries that millions of Ghanaians depend on.

We are launching the Climate, Society and Environment Research Centre (C-SERC) on 9th December! It's in person at UTS, showcasing some of our work and with a talk by Prof Dipesh Chakrabarty. For further information and to register see: https://t.co/3vYtGTTeU0

It's been engaging at the 4th World Small-Scale Fisheries Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. Coastal fishing livelihoods ought to be safeguarded in the phase of immense blue economy/growth pressures. ⁦@TBTInetwork⁩ ⁦@FAOfish⁩

Did you ever imagine the role the dried-smoked pelagic fish trade plays in food security and livelihoods in West Africa? In this latest article, ⁦@NYIAWUNG⁩ and I illuminated this ‘hidden’ form of trade in W/A driven mainly by Women. It's free access https://t.co/DDgoS8egmA
