Members’ research and reports
|
|
Bahari Hai has produced a report about threats to sea turtles nesting in Ungwana Bay and the surrounding region on the coast of Kenya. The report includes information about the risks that bottom trawling poses to turtle populations and small-scale fishers’ livelihoods. We will share the link to the report on our social media as soon as it's available.

Webinars
|
In the latest addition to Duke University’s The Future of Our Oceans webinar series, contributors to the upcoming Illuminating Hidden Harvest report share early insights into the global extent of preferential access areas for small-scale fishers.
|
The findings of this research will inform advocacy to achieve the coalition’s first ask: Coastal states, in consultation with fishworker organisations and other stakeholders, must establish, expand and strengthen national inshore exclusion zones (IEZs) for small-scale fishers in which bottom trawling is prohibited.
