Mapping artisanal fishing areas

​After two months working with fishers, the Omali Vida Nón team has already produced preliminary maps of the artisanal fishing areas! Fishers have been carrying GPS trackers that record their location every time they go fishing. Copies of these maps have been offered to the fishers, along with an individual map in which fishers could see their fishing areas represented in the map. This information will allow us to identify the most important areas for the artisanal fishing communities in Principe and, for example, identify possible conflicts with industrial fishing.
