Fair and sustainable fisheries management to protect ecosystems and livelihoods
Channel: IIED
Date: 2021-02-11

Overfishing can have a catastrophic effect on ecosystems and livelihoods. In Myanmar, we made a strong, evidence-based business case for affordable, sustainable fisheries management systems that protect both people and nature.

This video is part of a series produced for IIED's 2020 annual review, which lets our researchers and partners tell the story of how they continued to work together for a better future for all. 

All the videos were all recorded remotely from around the world and capture some of the key themes of 2020, from IIED's COVID-19 response, to working with young people and women in Tanzania, to protecting livelihoods and ecosystems in Myanmar, to changing the narrative around international investment treaties and their impacts on local communities around the world.
