Through their eyes: Fishing communities voice their stories through photos

Abstract

From the coast of Peru to the shores of Lake Chilwa in Malawi to fresh produce markets in Vietnam, small-scale fisheries provide vital income, food, nutrition and a sense of identity. Here we share photos and voices of fishing community members from across the globe that were gathered through the photovoice research method – a powerful tool that empowers people to visually document and honour their knowledge and experiences about issues that affect their lives.
