We’re proud to share three educational posters developed in collaboration with:
- The University of British Columbia – Faculty of Forestry
- Policy Forum Guyana
- Red Thread
- The GREEN Institute, University of Guyana, and
- Oil and Gas Governance Network
These posters raise awareness about critical issues in Guyana’s fishing sector:
📌 1. Women in Fisheries
Did you know that women make up about 50% of global fish workers? This poster highlights the vital but often overlooked roles that women play in fisheries—from fishers to processors—and why they must be included in decision-making and management.
📌 2. Why Support Guyana’s Artisanal Fisheries
Learn three key reasons to support local artisanal fishing: eat nutritious local seafood, protect the ocean, and support livelihoods. Artisanal fishing is not only sustainable but deeply rooted in Guyanese culture.
📌 3. Small Fish, Big Impact
This educational poster highlights the nutritional, environmental, and economic advantages of eating more small fish. It explains how small fish like bangamary and mackerel are rich in nutrients, lower in pollutants, and more sustainable for the planet.
Explore the posters below and help spread awareness of sustainable, inclusive fisheries practices in Guyana.
