South Pacific Fisheries, citizen science, and conservation

Interested in pursuing an MA in marine resource management, fisheries, human ecology, or science and technology topics? 

San Diego State University was awarded a 4-year grant from the NSF-Coupled Natural Human Systems (CNH) program to fund several MA students for marine anthropology work in French Polynesia. It's an exciting interdisciplinary project involving Moorea Long Term Ecological Research scientists. One part of the project is a citizen science initiative where fishers are tracking their fishing activities with GPS-enabled smart-phones. Another part of the project involves a joint marine scientist-fisher monitoring effort where they are collaboratively monitoring and co-generating knowledge about the lagoon to help inform marine management.
