Dear all, 

I hope this finds you all well?

Please see below a message shared by ICHO member Dr David Wilson on the “Lessons from Lake Malawi” project:

On 19th October, the “Lessons from Lake Malawi” project, which focuses on the history of fisheries management in Lake Malawi and what this can teach for sustainable fishing futures in Malawi and beyond, are hosting a hybrid event in collaboration with the Scotland-Malawi Partnership. This will be online and in Edinburgh City Chambers.
 
Description:
 
The “Lessons from Lake Malawi” project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers from Mzuzu University and the University of Strathclyde.
 
Focusing on Lake Malawi, this project explored the different development, principles, and legacies of two fisheries management regimes that emerged in the mid-twentieth century. The first was instituted by the British colonial government and centred on the dominant principles of fisheries science that were evolving at the time. The second was developed under the tutelage of Chief Makanjira, founded on place-based knowledge of breeding seasons and community-centred enforcement principles. 

The event will feature short presentations by different project members from Mzuzu University and the University of Strathclyde covering distinctive aspects of the project: archival research, oral histories, environmental sampling, and fisheries analysis. 

The team will present their key findings and the recommendations that can be drawn from these that can be used to inform the future of sustainable fisheries management in Lake Malawi and beyond.
