In this month's episode of AfriCan Georpardy, we are excited to introduce Dr Okafor-Yarwood's research as part of the Pew Marine Fellowship. The interview is led by her colleague, Dr Noleen Chikowore, a sustainable development lecturer at the University of St Andrews. Over three years, Dr Okafor-Yarwood will receive $150,000 to investigate the gendered impact of fisheries closures in Ghana and to develop locally appropriate and sustainable conservation strategies based on local ecological knowledge in West Africa. This research is crucial because current marine conservation approaches often disregard the needs of vulnerable communities. With limited government resources to provide alternative livelihoods for those affected by such policies, it is essential to explore all options to ensure fair and just policies. In a recent development, Cote d'Ivoire has announced the implementation of a closed season for the artisanal, industrial, and tuna industries starting from July 2023. Thanks for listening and your patience, as this month's episode comes quite later.
