Explore research and insights that reveal how fishing livelihoods adapt, innovate, and build resilience to ecological change.
Climate Adaptation and Resilience Enhancement Strategies for Small-scale fisheries (CLIMARES) aims to improve climate resilience in South Africa’s small-scale fisheries. We use local innovative data-driven methods to better understand how communities perceive and respond to climate-related changes in the ocean.

Abalobi Ulwazi Net-work

Ulwazi Network is building a network with fishers and close stakeholders as co-researchers, enabling community members to collect and share micro-narratives—short stories and observations from their daily experiences on and close by the water.

These stories and experiences provide a continuous, real-time account of what fishers, their households, and communities are witnessing and experiencing. They capture the complexity and richness of their lives in ways that traditional surveys often miss.

innovate, and build resilience to ecological change.
