🌍 New publication: Building climate-resilient aquaculture

A crucial new report brings together climate adaptation practices from Bangladesh, Kenya and Zambia—outlining the foundations of an Adaptation Decision Support System (ADSS 4 Aqua) to help guide policy, planning, and investment for resilient aquaculture.

This translates climate risks into practical, context-specific options to support policymakers, development partners, and practitioners working to safeguard food security, livelihoods, and aquatic food systems.

Let's reduce ghost gears and protect our ocean. #Awareness24/7 #ghostgears #ghostfishing

[Nahid @nahidzm2]

Spotting #ghostgear hotspots, raising awareness, and forging strong supply chain connections are pivotal in the fight against ghost fishing in the #BayofBengal. Recent talks in #CoxsBazar stressed the importance of this collaborative approach for conserving aquatic #biodiversity

[Nahid @nahidzm2]

Hosted by #USAID funded ECOFISH II of @WorldFishCenter in collaboration with the Bangladesh Department of Fisheries, a workshop on "#Seaweed farming in maritime areas of Bangladesh: Potentials and Challenges" took place today in Dhaka. Valuable insights shared with stakeholders.
