Summary
Large, long-lived marine animals (‘marine megafauna’) are amongst the world’s most endangered taxa, primarily due to targeted and incidental overfishing. Tackling this threat is particularly problematic in small- scale mixed-species fisheries, where all catches have economic or subsistence value, creating trade-offs between marine biodiversity conservation and fisher wellbeing. This project will develop scalable methods and tailored approaches for addressing these trade-offs, by designing, piloting and evaluating a portfolio of investible incentive-based conservation projects in small-scale fisheries in Indonesia.
