We are very proud of Dr. Ana Nuno and the entire team at Fundação Príncipe who were part of the first phase of the project, whose results continue to be invaluable!
A new article by the team, recently published in Conservation Letters, explores how to improve individuals' perception of their own ability to influence marine conservation, identifying key determinants of psychological empowerment and possible implications for marine resource management. Dr Ana Nuno: “Fishing communities are crucial in addressing conservation issues around the world. Stakeholder participation and fisheries co-management have been recognized as key approaches, particularly when implementation is challenging due to limited government capacity. But how can we promote individual actions and support measures that improve marine ecosystems? Some might say we need to empower stakeholders. Empowerment has become a popular concept in conservation but, while well intentioned, it is often used as a buzzword with unclear claims. How can we move beyond this in conservation?"
