Today Georg Engelhard and myself have been travelling round the south of Dominica visiting some of the fishing communities so badly affected by Hurricane Maria last september. Many buildings destroyed, boats washed away and livlihoods devestated. CME Programme Cefas CCSUS



Our final day of the CME Programme visit to Dominica, working with Dominica Fisheries on hurricane impacts and fisheries data collection. A workshop with stakeholders and enumerators to show our results, including interviews with 2 TV and 2 radio channels! Cefas CCSUS @CefasMC3


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.
