How can fisheries data support small-scale fishers? Gafur is a handline tuna fisher who has benefited from fisheries data collection. He feels happy to be able to provide data which plays a key role in fisheries management in North Maluku. Local and provincial governments use data to inform fishery management policies. Well-managed fisheries can result in healthier fishery resources and increasing export quota. These aspects will indirectly benefit fishers, both sustainably and financially. We appreciate Gafur's cooperation over the last half decade with us.

Buru is a remote island that may not be on everyone’s radar. However, in the world of fisheries, Buru is renowned as the home of Indonesia’s export fishers.

If you had the chance to meet coastal communities worldwide, what would you say? In mid-March, MDPI participated in global fisheries discussions at the World Fisheries Congress and Seafood Expo North America.
