Youth Succession and Future of Small-Scale Fisheries in Cameroon
Coastal small-scale fishing plays an important role in terms of food and nutrition security, livelihoods, and employment for people in Cameroon’s coastal communities and beyond. Coastal fishing is more of a way of life for many coastal dwellers, constituting an integral part of their culture and traditions for several generations and attachment to the sea/ocean.
In this project, ASDEV is engaging extensively and interviewing fisherfolk in three major coastal fishing communities in Cameroon – Limbe, Kribi, and Douala. The project objectives are: (1) To understand if fisherfolk are willing to allow their children continue in the business and (2) Could digital and technological innovations encourage fisherfolk to continue fishing.
