The Department of Agriculture is offering the Fisheries Integration of Society and Habitats (FISH) grant to enhance social, ecological, and economic resilience to climate change while promoting biodiversity conservation in Malawian freshwater ecosystems. This grant will support sustainable fisheries co-management in key fisheries areas, fostering the utilization of science for decision-making, enhancing conservation efforts, reducing threats to biodiversity, and promoting climate change adaptation. By increasing knowledge and capacity, this grant aims to ensure the long-term resilience of both freshwater ecosystems and the communities reliant on them. Closing date for applications is May 07, 2014.
