"Fish and people": an innovative fisheries science learning tool for the Pacific

[Note from the Editor] In the third article, “Fish and People: An innovative fisheries science learning tool for the Pacific”, Dr Simon Foale of the Department of Anthropology, Archaeology and Sociology at James Cook University, in Townsville, Australia describes a new fisheries science education DVD targeted mainly at high school students in Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. However, it is already proving popular with a much broader range of audiences in Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, and in far-off Kenya. The tool is constructed around a series of interviews with Solomon Islanders (fishers, scientists, non-governmental organization workers, government officials and teachers), each of whom delivers a key part of the message, in language and context of immediate relevance for the target audience.
