Summary
By building community capacity to monitor the growing scourge of marine plastic on Príncipe Island, and introducing alternative revenue opportunities to tackle existing plastic waste on the island, the project will seek to allay the negative socio-economic impacts on the island’s small-scale fisheries, safeguarding food security and helping women and young mothers to explore diversified incomes, as well as contributing to Fundação Príncipe’s long-standing work with sea turtle conservation through the inclusion of a contra-plastic strategy into its work.
