Does anyone know any #RecFishing research contacts for Asia, South Africa, Island States or South America? I’d love to help diversify attendees & presentations if we could- fab conference on all things recreational #fishing, #Melbourne, #Australia Feb 2023 WRFC10

Special sessions at the #WIOMSA2022 provide opportunities to engage and delve deep into WIO matters! 🌊🌴 Look out for these special session on marine recreational #fisheries and the role of co-design in transforming marine science 🌊

We are excited to co-host this special session on Marine Recreation Fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean WIOMSA 2022 symposium with Dr. Alex Winkler Warren Potts Dr. Nina Wambiji KMFRI @billfishExpert

Come check out our exhibit promoting the new Coastal Fishes of the Western Indian Ocean book at #WIOMSA2022 🌊 registered participants are receiving the electronic copies of all volumes in their registration pack 📖 #CFWIO

Yesterday I had managed to drop in on the last few moments on recreational and artisnal fishing communities in the WIO region AT #WIOMSA2022. It was most interesting listening to perspectives from Kenya and the barriers to entry from researchers #POC and #WIMS in #marinescience

A big thanks to everyone who participated in our special session where we discussed marine recreational fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean. Lots of interesting thoughts were shared, and I am looking forward to collaborating! #WIOMSA2022 Dr. Alex Winkler @billfishExpert Dr. Nina Wambiji

#WIOMSA2022 Ongoing! Prof. Warren Potts Warren Potts kickstarts our mini symposia on Rec Fisheries exploring “An overview of challenges facing recreational fisheries management in Africa and abroad”

It was really great to have a session dedicated to recreational fisheries at #WIOMSA2022. As the body of work and researchers grows in Africa hopefully this will become the norm at this and other African marine science symposia. #recfishresearch

Prof. Warren Potts (Warren Potts) gave a breakdown of the unique challenges of recreational fisheries management in the WIO at #WIOMSA2022. We must leverage their socio-economic benefits to promote their governance and reduce impact. #recfish #recfishresearch SAFER LAB
