Fisheries and Biodiversity in the Western Indian Ocean
The south-west Indian Ocean is one of the world’s richest regions in terms of biodiversity, where small-scale fishing is key to the wellbeing and nutrition security of many communities.
But global pressures – climate change, growing global demand for natural resources, intensification of uses – are threatening ecosystems, and the human societies that depend on them.
This is the context for BRIDGES – Fisheries and Biodiversity in the Western Indian Ocean Research Program which aims to carry out ambitious collaborative research to bolster social and environmental resilience, and support a future generation of researchers and actors for the region.
