Describe the problem
We believe that many solutions to the problems facing coastal ecosystems and the people that are dependant on the resources that they provide, are already there in the community. We find community champions, identify their successes and share their solutions more widely with fellow communities using their own voice. Participatory video is an exciting and fitting way for coastal people to tell stories of their positive fisheries management experiences capitalising on strong oral tradition and utilising the visual medium of film. Our solution is to use video to provide a vehicle for carrying local success stories more widely using people's own voice and culturally appropriate storytelling. Local leaders and innovators are the best source of peer to peer learning for capacity development.
