Tom Karrow, a PhD Candidate is working with elder Bahamian bonefish guides in an effort to document and gain a better understanding of their knowledge of the local environment and to assist in the creation of fisheries habitat maps.
These types of maps are important because they highlight critical fisheries habitat areas and that helps in conservation measures ensuring that established policies are highly effective and ensure greater sustainability of the resource. Read more about Tom’s project.
