1DFID - UK helps hi-tech fishers on International Co-ops Day 2 Citations "A new system which will allow fishermen and women in Kenya to access real time information on buyers and current selling prices on their mobile phones is one of the projects to benefit from recent £5 million funding from DFID. Speaking on International Co-Operatives Day, Minister for Trade and Development Gareth Thomas welcomed the project which will help some of the 45,000 fishers and 80,000 traders who rely on fishing in Lake Victoria to make a living. Previously, the fishers' income was adversely affected by middlemen fixing prices. The new mobile phone service will bring an end to this by allowing them to receive real time information on the current selling price for fish. It will also enable them to send texts to advise each other on which fishing sites to avoid and which are profitable. Most of the fishers are under 35 and the greater income and work available through this fund will help to make them less vulnerable to the effects of HIV and AIDS.", delicious.com2009/07 - DFID , delicious.com

1 Citation July 1, 2009 | When it comes to stopping overfishing in coastal ocean waters, there's a whale of a gap between what nations pledge to do and what happens at sea. That's the grim conclusion of a new study published in PLoS Biology, the first global assessment of human management of fisheries -- designated areas where fish and aquatic animals are caught -- whose coauthors include renowned marine biologists such as the late Ransom A. Myers and Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.
It's well documented that many of the world's major fisheries are in shocking decline. Some 90 percent of the world's big fish, such as bluefin tuna, blue marlin and Antarctic cod, have almost disappeared from the oceans since the advent of industrial fishing in the 1950s, delicious.com
