In Somalia, #bottomtrawling is damaging coastal fisheries that are a critically important source of protein for rural communities. Ahmed Ismail Abdi witnessed the decline of his local fisheries after trawlers arrived in Bander Beyla 🇸🇴🚢

Today and everyday, we celebrate the incredible fishing communities in the Somali Region. It is a privilege to collaborate with them. Wishing you and yours a fintastic #WorldFisheriesDay
Oops! Our marine biologist and field manager have flagged that the tweet should have said "yellowfin." Attempt #2: Check out this win of a #yellowfin run-in fishers had Urubo beach, Mog!
Fuel in Lasqoray is too expensive to run the local ice maker. This fisher dries his catch (tuna and rays) to sell to other communities. What would you call “tuna jerky”? “Terky”? “Turky”? 🐟🦃

One key driver? Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. pew.org/3sVKfOz
