Big Fish Initiative
Short films produced as part of the Big Fish Initiative, a campaign by WECAFC SAWG focused on the protection of fish spawning aggregations (FSA) and the sustainable management of the species that aggregate to spawn in the Wider Caribbean.
Fish Smart
This is a call to action from fishers to their colleagues in the Wider Caribbean. It shows the mesmerizing behavior of species that aggregate to spawn in the wider Caribbean, and exposes the reasons why fishing spawning fish doesn't pay off. The film is also a call for fishers to participate in the decision-making process and the search for alternative likelihoods that provide income during the fishing bans. Ultimately the message is FISH SMART, protect spawning aggregations.
Strengthening Conservation Community Enterprises (CCEs) E-Course
CCEs, such as SSF and Aquaculture cooperatives, are small, locally-run businesses providing livelihoods that also support the protection of habitats and biodiversity. However, CCEs often face significant obstacles in trying to make a sustainable living. Whether it’s the administrative challenge of establishing a business or a lack of capital to get things off the ground, these obstacles can prevent many enterprises from reaching their full potential.
To address this, WWF developed a self-paced e-learning course to help NGOs and community-based organizations better support communities in strengthening CCEs
