Resilience Practitioners Network The Resilience Practitioners Network has evolved since we began working with the R2 Toolkit back in 2004. Initially, anybody that had received a toolkit was invited to participate in the network. Then, with our series of training workshops, we added workshop participants, learning exchange participants, and ultimately anyone that was interested in learning or sharing work related to reef resilience. Since then, we’ve developed a based on new science, case studies from the field, and comments from users. We have also seen many changes in the communication technology available to remote locations and major changes in the way people are communicating over the internet (for example, social networks are on the rise!). We are currently working to identify ways to strengthen the Resilience Practitioners Network, add new members, increase exchange and learning between members, and take advantage of new ways to communicate. We are also in the early stages of developing an online training course that will be highly interactive with instructors and mentors that support the course. We intend to continue to hold regional training workshops and learning exchanges, but also plan to further develop our internet-based communications. If you have ideas about how we might improve our communications or interest in providing feedback on the strategies we are considering, please contact us at resilience@tnc.org. |
This case study describes the first project in East Africa to study FSAs. Work in this area regarding spawning aggregations was completed with two projects. The objectives of the first project were as follows:
The first project was initiated by IUCN’s Eastern Africa Regional Office (EARO), through funding from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). In March, 2004, a workshop was held in Mombasa, Kenya, for local scientists and potential field team members from national institutions in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Seychelles. The objectives of the workshop were to:
Training tools used to introduce the concept of spawning aggregations to participants were the Society for the Conservation of Reef Fish Aggregations (SCRFA) manual, and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) CD-ROM on Reef Resilience v2. READ MORE Call for Resilience Case Studies
The new toolkit has about 20 different stories from the field in the form of case studies and communication campaign examples. We will continue to follow the work in these places and are excited to add new experiences to this resource. If you have been working to build resilience into your reef management activities and want to share it with others, please contact us! Sharing your lessons learned will help others to identify effective strategies and also avoid approaches that haven’t worked as well.
