Small-scale & Artisanal Fisheries Research Network

One of the webinars coming up from Too Big To Ignore!

'Small is bountiful' - World Oceans Day 2020

Our second session focuses on SDG target 14.b!

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development affirms that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “seek to realize the human rights of all.”

Arguing from human rights perspective, the webinar will first illustrate how human rights data can help identify challenges and opportunities when states implement SDG target 14.b on access of small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets, including the commitment by states to leave no one behind.

Next, we'll discuss challenges and opportunities in implementing SDG target 14.b with examples from the North and the South.

See you on June 2!

📣 Another special session at IMCC6!

Kiel, 🇩🇪(21-27 Aug, 2020):

'Conservation with Communities: Inclusive Governance Planning to Achieve Social and Environmental Objectives'

Current interest in area-based conservation alongside coastal communities reflects both the recognition that past conservation activities have marginalized coastal people, and insights that working with communities can lead to better conservation outcomes. However, partly because of the neo-colonial legacy of conservation as well as the sometimes-diverging interests of conservation and local communities facing global change, conflict between conservation and communities persist.

This symposium will explore the range of factors that contribute to successful or failed collaborations between conservation groups and local communities.

Session organizers: G. Singh & R. Chuenpagdee
