In Guinea Bissau, in West Africa, fisherfolk developed a strategy to preserve fish stocks upon which their livelihoods depend. |
Even allowing for generous mark-ups by the middlemen, fisherfolk from developing countries can earn a great deal of money this way. |
A generation or two ago, fisherfolk may have felt humility, possibly even religious stirrings, in the face of a storm. |
This protocol is being observed by local communities as well as fisherfolk from neighbouring countries. |
The fisherfolk there know that, which is why they did not mount an armada and head for Tobago after her dotish talk. |
We also appointed a Fisheries Liaison Officer to keep fisherfolk continuously informed of our operations and to listen to their concerns. |
