Un artículo muy interesante. Igual se puede replicar en las comunidades donde se desarrolle actividades pesqueras artesanales, donde los residuos de la Pesca se puedan aprovechar para elaborar alimentos balanceados para animales de granja, fertilizantes, etc.

A very interesting article. The same can be replicated in the communities where artisanal fishing activities are carried out, where fishing waste can be used to make balanced feed for farm animals, fertilizers, etc.

Just wondering if anyone has come across this research project by Aberystwyth University in the UK, which is developing a global octopus genetic database which will facilitate a seafood traceability network to improve stock management and ensure the sustainability of octopus fisheries.
It looks very interesting, more details below...

We are soliciting input into a challenge statement for the 2022 Fishackathon that kicked off at the Economist's World Ocean Summit (WOS) in Singapore this week. Please note that we are trying to finalize a challenge statement centered on small-scale fisheries by December 15th so not as much notice as I'd like to give.
The Fishackathon (https://fishackathon.co/) aims to bring together designers, developers, subject matter experts, and organizations to create impactful, actionable and scalable solutions to key challenges facing our aquatic environments, and the people and the industries that rely upon them.
The small-scale fisheries statement(s) will drive the development of tools such as web-based platforms, mobile applications and others, with a winner announced in March at the Lisbon WOS. Our hope is that these statements will center on the most important challenges we are currently facing where software tools can help to make an immediate and lasting impact.
This is why we are reaching out to this community- you should all have good ideas here!
What we are looking for is:
1) some brief context describing the challenge(s) being faced
2) a description of how these challenge(s) could potentially be addressed
3) any level of specificity regarding a potential software solution, including available data sources and any references to resources that could be useful.
Please reply to this thread with your ideas or if you have any thoughts or questions. Many thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
IYAFA 2022 - I'll be celebrating by spending more time with fishers, and finding ways to show my appreciation for all they do.
Planning co-design and participatory research projects that include fishers as co-partners to help with providing direct financial support and alternative income.
Launching DigiFish in Barbados just before Christmas or early 2020. This is in collaboration with The Barbados National Union of Fisherfolk Organisation (BARNUFO) - https://barnufo.org/, and Pelagic Data Systems - www.pelagicdata.com Promoting the use of digital technologies and innovative data analysis methods to support the application of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries In Barbados. We are hoping to scale this project in Barbados and the Wider Caribbean. If anyone wants to know more or is interested in VMS for Small Scale Fishers in the Caribbean or elsewhere, let me know!
Hoping to see fishers' stories and their needs being better amplified, and creating more excitement around the sector for youth. Personally, I'm trying to navigate how to communicate the fisheries focus on techniques such as pot fishing in near-shore reefs, versus the challenges they experience with deep-sea fishing. When small reef fish is all you can reasonably catch for your community and family, but that is frowned upon.
I would like to see support around, affordable modern equipment and tech support, alternative Incomes and Safety at Sea!
Another area I would like to explore more of is how are we valuing fishers' knowledge and data. How can fishers leverage data to supplement their income?

La participación de las juventudes dentro del Congreso también fue fundamental para una crítica constructiva y lucha constante en los territorios donde se realiza la pesca artesanal de pequeña escala. Es de suma importancia recalcar, que el trabajo de la pesca artesanal de pequeña escala se continua desde las juventudes, su unión y esfuerzo es vital para una actividad activa en los territorios costeros.
Por ello mismo, de igual manera se comparte la memoria desde las voces de las personas jóvenes que trabajan en la actividad de la pesca artesanal de pequeña escala y su participación dentro del II Congreso.
