Today in 2030, I have returned to fishing on the coast and I am proud that my children will in time become fishers too. The trees are green again and the hills prevent flooding. The water flowing into gullies doesn’t dirty our seas or waters anymore.
Fish are increasingly rare on the Haitian coastlines. As is the case for Romel, fishermen are forced to move away from the coast to practice their profession and few of them have learned how to protect the mangroves or marine ecosystems. Through its work in adapting to climate change, UNDP and its partners are raising awareness and providing fishermen with solutions for protecting their environment and making it less vulnerable to natural hazards.
