Smaller fish, bleached corals: Maldives hit by several threats from climate change

Coaching FOR Fishing

Sailors have also been forced to deal with more erratic wind patterns while sailing.

” The fishermen spend a lot of time at sea right now.” They spend about a week minimum out at sea”, said Maldives Fishermen’s Association director- public Abdulla Shakir Mohamed.

” So, if the sea is rough, if the weather is bad, then that will definitely ( pose ) problems ( for ) them returning back to the base or to their home island”.

The relationship works with thousands of fishermen, and teaches them necessary skills to overcome these difficulties.

These abilities, according to Mr. Abdulla, include the ability to gather and analyze data, as well as the ability to recognize various cloud types and weather patterns shifts.

He added that the training that was provided focused on how climate changes and how this affects smaller island communities.
