Happy #HumpDay from this Somali camel who couldn't be bothered to join our recent fisher focus group. Dromedary? More like DRAMAdary 🐪

In Somalia, #bottomtrawling is damaging coastal fisheries that are a critically important source of protein for rural communities. Ahmed Ismail Abdi witnessed the decline of his local fisheries after trawlers arrived in Bander Beyla 🇸🇴🚢

Oops! Our marine biologist and field manager have flagged that the tweet should have said "yellowfin." Attempt #2: Check out this win of a #yellowfin run-in fishers had Urubo beach, Mog!

“Tuna” in Somali is “jeedar.” How about “jeerky”?

[Secure Fisheries @SecureFisheries]

Fuel in Lasqoray is too expensive to run the local ice maker. This fisher dries his catch (tuna and rays) to sell to other communities. What would you call “tuna jerky”? “Terky”? “Turky”? 🐟🦃

[Pew Environment @pewenvironment]

New report: More than 100,000 fishing-related deaths occur each year—which is 3-4X previous estimates—according to a @fish_safety study.

One key driver? Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. https://t.co/ye3HtgP1Cg

We met some marvelous Madagascar mangroves that motivated a model for MPA management. Thanks @BlueVentures!
