One of the best parts of the WSFC last month was seeing bright, young students interacting with some of the most experienced and respected small-scale fisheries experts in the world. Not only does it open up opportunities for the students, we like to think that it's good for the pros too!
As part of the Congress, student participants were encouraged to submit papers for a competition. The winners were announced on the final day of the Congress:
1st place:
Marta Collier Ferreira Leite, University of São Paulo, Brazil
"A method for assessing FEK/LEK as a practical tool for Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management: seeking consensus in Southeastern Brazil"
Runner-ups:
Jeppe Høst, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
"The neoliberal catch - access rights and the clash of coastal lifemodes"
Melissa Hauzer, University of Victoria, Canada
"Effectiveness of local governance in artisanal fisheries management, Ngazidja island, Comoros"
Panwad Wongthong, University of Adelaide, Australia
"A participatory approach - key to success in mangrove management in Prednai, Eastern Thailand"
The three judges were:
Fikret Berkes, University of Manitoba, Canada
M Rafiqul Islam, Manly Council, New South Wales, Australia
Silvia Salas, CINVESTAV, Mexico
Congratulations to all the winners!
