🌍🐟 492 million people worldwide depend on small-scale fisheries and related activities for their livelihoods. In fact, 90% of everyone involved in capture fisheries works in small-scale fisheries — making them a cornerstone of global food security. @abalobi_app, winner of the Wave Ocean Regeneration Prize in collaboration with @SolveMIT, have a vision to cultivate thriving, equitable and climate-resilient small-scale fishing communities globally — through financial inclusion, community infrastructure, collective social entrepreneurship and data-driven fisheries rebuilding. 🌊💙 🌊 Wave, powered by @FII_Institute1, is proud to support sustainable solutions that foster ocean regeneration within a human generation. #SmallScaleFisheries #SustainableFishing #MarineConservation #OceanRegeneration

🌍🐟 Despite their vital role in feeding communities worldwide, small-scale fisheries often lack formal recognition and governance. 🌐 @abalobi_app, winner of the Wave Ocean Regeneration Prize in collaboration with @SolveMIT, works to transform this landscape. Based in South Africa, ABALOBI uses innovative data, traceability, cold chain and market technologies to support small-scale fishers for social, economic and ecological sustainability. Through their work, ABALOBI's vision is to cultivate thriving, equitable and climate-resilient small-scale fishing communities globally. 🌊 WAVE, powered by @FII_Institute1, is proud to support sustainable solutions that foster ocean regeneration within a human generation. #SmallScaleFisheries #SustainableFishing #OceanRegenerationPrize #OceanRegeneration #JoinTheWave

@abalobi_app works with small fishing communities to record their catch data. They have now made their MONITOR platform and visualisation tools accessible for global deployment - meaning small-scale fishers around the world can manage catches in real-time.
