Project Summary

Bangladesh is located on the Bay of Bengal, which supports vast commercial and artisanal fisheries. Through this 2024 small grant, Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) expanded its efforts to understand local causes of gear loss, and to educate fishing communities in St. Martine Island and the city of Chittagong about ALDFG impacts. In addition to organizing community workshops, PSTU also hosted a community policy dialogue to provide policy recommendations for the prevention and mitigation of ghost fishing in the Bay of Bengal.
