Agriculture absorbs about 26% of the total damage and losses of climate-related natural disasters. We need to make agriculture climate-smart and respect where our food comes from. #ZeroHunger #climatechange

It was a pleasure hosting John Pinnegar and Georg Engelhard from Cefas for the past few days. Together we're gaining new insights from the Dominican fisheries sector and better ways to manage it sustainably.

The Scott's Head community was ravaged by hurricane Maria last year. Fisher folk here are slowly putting their lives back together. But the challenges of ice and fuel remain.

Category 5 hurricane Maria struck Dominica one year ago tonight. But we survived. Diamond also survived. I found her amidst her clutch of coconuts on the morning of the 19th.
