Introduction
The fish population in the pacific is in a critical condition, population numbers as well as the diversity of species has suffered intensely over the past 5 years. In addition to marine life suffering, so are habitats and this illegal, over-exerted trade is contributing heavily to environmental degradation. Our project is focused on providing the training, resources and equipment for local community members to continue monitoring and preserving the habitats and reducing the illegal trade.
Report
Working with the local authorities and communities this project engages the local communities around Australia, neighbouring islands and countries to identify critically low areas of the fish population in the ocean and train local people to assist with data collection. We need $450 per local community member to get them PADI training so that they are able to run their own project. We have managed to raise $1025 so far.
