Fishers' Nutrition, Health, & Climate Change

Collaboration!  Working closely with two fishing cooperatives in Mexico (Buzos y Pescadores de la Baja California and S.C.P.P Ensenada), we join fishing communities in Baja California, Mexico, immersing ourselves in their livelihoods and learning about their deep connection with the ocean.

To better understand how climate change affects fishers' health and well-being, we conduct different qualitative and quantitative approaches, including spending time with the community members and gaining a newfound appreciation for the complexity of their work and the challenges they face. 

Diving into new quantitative & qualitative approaches, this project will use health indicators to estimate and project the potential climate-related impacts on fishing communities' health status.

To capture these experiences and prioritize community members' voices and knowledge, this project is grounded on a co-production approach. We will examine ways to document and promote communities' stories and local knowledge.

Using a photo documentary approach, we hope to share their stories with a broader audience and raise awareness about the importance of these communities and the challenges they will face. The photos will be exhibited in Mexico and Canada, highlighting the beauty and richness of these fishing communities and the need to protect and support them in the face of climate change.
