Abstract

The Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI) and the University of the West Indies implemented a pilot project utilizing participatory video; the fishers of Blanchisseuse documented the challenges of their fishing community and could then share the video with partners able to help them to address problems. Partners found the video helpful in capturing the issues facing the fishing community, and the fishers found that producing the video, then meeting with partners, allowed them to effectively illuminate their challenges. Both the fishers and decision-makers were able to discuss issues and create short and long-term solutions that are beneficial.
