  • Summary

  • The new special episode of the One Ocean Hub podcast is dedicated to small-scale fishers. Milica Prokic (Knowledge Exchange Associate, One Ocean Hub) joined by Maria Honig, (Coastal Communities Lead, World Wide Fund for Nature, WWF) had the honour and the pleasure to meet with five representatives of small-scale fishers from South Africa: Hilda Adams (Small-Scale Fisher Cooperative and South African Fishers Collective, Umra), Bradley Warner (Cape Town and Saint Helena Bay), Randall Bentley (Eastern Cape), and Jerry Mngomezulu and John Peter Narayansamy (KwaZulu Natal). The fishers discussed their struggles to defend their fishing tenure rights, access to ancestral fishing areas, and the continuing challenges they face stemming from the violent legacies of apartheid. They also spoke about their tireless work on resisting and tackling these challenges and the role of programmes and organisations such as One Ocean Hub and WWF to help fishers to fully realise their human rights.
