Abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a significant source of marine debris in Cameroon. Achare Elvis Ayamba’s project seeks to raise awareness and engage community and fishing industry stakeholders in addressing the problem by establishing onshore facilities for the collection, recording, and separation of the recovered gear, and supporting recycling efforts through craft development and environmental education workshops. The project would begin with an analysis of ALDFG in the community and establish an onshore collection point for recovered gear. Stakeholders including local community leaders, youth, women, fishermen, and fish traders would then be trained to recover and organize ALDFG at the collection point. Environmental education and craft workshops would focus on community-level discussions about the development of local policies to support the project and training youth and women to convert the collected gear into valuable and marketable crafts such as eco-mats, baskets, and carpets.
