Sharing and Promoting visual ways of working to communicate how communities cope with change in the Western Indian Ocean From Mauritius to Zanzibar.
Coral Communities, what is it? Worldwide hundreds of millions of people are dependent upon coral reefs and the benefits that they provide (e.g. food and coastal protection), but coral reefs are in decline due to pressures such as overfishing, pollution and climate change. Communities reliant on these reefs for work and their way of life need to be involved in decisions about how they are managed; in response to this, we came up with the Coral Communities project.
We developed a visual method that you can use. We want to take you on a short journey through the activities of the Coral Communities project and show you how participatory visual approaches can be used to engage with communities to help them express how they interact with their environment, how they are working with environmental change and what their aspirations are.
