Data-Driven Resilience: Understanding Vulnerability in Colombian Artisanal Fisheries
In artisanal fishing communities along the Colombian Caribbean, vulnerability is not a single number but a layered condition shaped by income, education, and dependence on the sea. The Socioeconomic Vulnerability Index across 12 communities reveals stark spatial differences, with Tasajera and Don Diego facing the highest relative risk. Notably, fishing dependence alone does not explain overall rankings, underscoring the multidimensional nature of hardship. Human capital emerges as a decisive factor, a finding that should guide targeted policy.
Empowering Indian Fishers: Citizen Science Fuels Data-Driven Marine Forecasts
A 20-fold increase in data submissions between the first two years of the FISH App's deployment signals more than just growing adoption; it marks a practical step toward species-specific fishery forecasts. INCOIS has built a tool that turns satellite-derived advisories into actionable, high-frequency catch data, and the nearly one thousand installations show fishers are ready to participate. This is citizen science applied with rigor.
