This is how people fled attacks in Palma. Some slept in the mangroves for days as they waited for boats to take them to Pemba. I spoke to a woman who experienced this + 12 days on a boat after paying $30 for the ride. No assistance from authorities or army soldiers. #Mozambique

Congratulations @NOIweala, new Director-General of the @WTO! 🎉🐟
It's well past time for a WTO agreement to tackle harmful fisheries subsidies. For the #ocean & the many people who depend on it: you must urgently lead WTO members to #ReelintheDeal and #StopFundingOverfishing.

Time for all the international organisations and diplomats who work in Mozambique—and Cabo Delgado in particular— to stop appeasing the govt and start speaking up for press freedom

I think there's been a few infrequent anecdotal references that its another possible way to use turtle products but perhaps lacking knowledge (or materials?) on how to actually do it.

Despite heavy crowd, this loggerhead nested and returned to ocean, usually animals in this scenario are hunted but the crowd was convinced to take photos instead. Photos Sasha @kitesurftofo #mozambique #carettacaretta

Too often unrecognized, the role of #womeninfisheries & #womeninaquaculture is key to the sector, especially in all post-harvest activities.

#Women make a crucial contribution along #fisheries & #aquaculture #valuechains.
