Fishery guidance and nerve repair: News from Imperial

Credit: Shafina Vohtra Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial. From new guidance to help sustainable fishery management, to research that suggests our circadian 'biological' clock may help nerve growth and repair, here is some quick-read news from across Imperial. Fisheries guide. Small-scale fisheries account for 40% of global fish catch and employ more than 90% of the world's fishers, defining the livelihoods, nutrition, and culture of a substantial and diverse segment of humankind. In recent decades collaborative forms of fisheries management, including co-management with national governments, have gained popularity as the most appropriate, fair, and effective form of governance for small-scale fisheries. Yet co-management can succeed or fail, and implementation does not mean positive impacts for food security, nutrition, livelihoods, or biodiversity. Nor does it imply programmes will respect human rights, gender equality, or principles of justice and equity.
