2024 World Fisheries Day
For 2024 World Fisheries Day, we’re contemplating the idea “Just Harmony,” as a way to bring attention to how small-scale fisheries can help restore or bring harmony to coastal and ocean space. It’s harmony in the sense of being respectful of each other, and of the differences. It is also in the sense of working together to deal with the ‘best’ option that does not necessarily seem to be ‘just’, at least not from the perspective of small-scale fisheries. Just Harmony can be learning moments for all, like learning to live together, despite our differences.
