In this context, a hybrid workshop will be held on December 4 and 5 at the University of Magdalena (Santa Marta), where the TBTI Hub Colombia will be officially launched. This internation forum will be a valuable opportunity for dialogue, the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and the coordination of efforts among diverse national and international stakeholders involved in artisanal fishing.
