Izarasoa Sy Ny Dinan'andavakorana
Situated in the remote Anosy region of southeast Madagascar, Sainte Luce is a small fishing community which for generations has relied on fish and lobsters catches for their livelihood. Historically, lobsters were always plentiful, yet in recent years things began to change - stocks declined, catches became smaller and consequently it became more and more difficult for people to earn a living and feed their families from lobster fishing. The fishermen of Sainte Luce made the brave decision to st and and face this challenge. The slogan of the Sainte Luce fishermen is "Model Fishermen - Example to others". Sainte Luce and Azafady, an NGO partner, are proud to produce this educational booklet to tell their story. We hope through this to raise awareness of how other fishermen in Madagascar, and all over the world, can pursue similar initiatives as the Sainte Luce fishermen, to manage their marine resources sustainably. We hope that the story of Limby and Zarasoa will inspire adults and chil dren alike to face the challenges experienced by coastal communities and, like those in our story, find a way to manage their marine resources for the benefit of their communities, ensuring that lobsters are still caught off the coast of Madagascar for many years to come. This project would not have been possible without the support and finances of FAO and IOC-Smartfish Programme, nor without the commitment of the Riaky Committee in Sainte Luce and the support of the 400 fishermen who live there .
