Large, long-lived marine animals (‘marine megafauna’) are amongst the world’s most
endangered taxa, primarily due to targeted and incidental overfishing. Tackling this threat is particularly problematic in small-scale mixed-species fisheries, where all catches have economic or subsistence value, creating trade-offs between marine biodiversity conservation and fisher wellbeing. This project will develop scalable methods and tailored approaches for addressing these trade-offs, by designing, piloting, evaluating and scaling a portfolio of investible incentive-based conservation projects in small-scale fisheries in Indonesia. This project is a consortium led by Dr Hollie Booth at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford
