Empowering Our People, One Community at a Time! 🌎💫

We're thrilled to share that our "CLIMATE RESILIENCE FISHERIES" workshop was a huge success in Okesiri and Enu Ama, Ilaje LGA, Ondo State! 🌟

Held on June 27th and 28th, 2025, the training equipped local fishermen with the knowledge and skills needed to adopt climate-resilient fisheries practices.

The workshop covered key topics such as:

✨ Climate change impact on fisheries
✨ Localizing climate change
✨ Indigenous knowledge and local technology
✨ Climate-resilient fisheries strategies

We're proud to be empowering our community and promoting sustainable fishing practices.

Stay tuned to our page as we'll be posting pictures and updates from the event in coming days!

Key highlights:

✨ Community-centered approach
✨ Inclusive climate strategies

Killer Whales? Actually they're Dolphins!

Killer whales, also known as Orcas, are the largest members of the dolphin family. Yet, their raw power and intelligence allow them sit at the very top of the food chain!
With their distinct panda-like colouration, Orcas are surely a beauty to behold. And they're just as deadly, as they are beautiful.

Join us this month as we learn more about the absolute 'Kings of the Ocean: Orcas'.

The Journey Has Only Just Begun!
At Aquaworld CDI, we understand that creating a lasting impact requires well-thought-out strategies and a deep understanding of the communities we serve. This understanding drove us to visit the impact locations for the Promoting Community-Based Climate-Fisheries Resilience in Coastal Communities Project.

On May 24th, the Aquaworld team visited the Oke Siri and Enu Ama communities in the Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, Nigeria. Our team engaged key stakeholders and introduced them to this impactful project. Community leaders and residents extended a warm welcome, expressing their excitement about the new opportunities the project will bring to their communities.

Their enthusiasm was a great source of motivation for the Aquaworld team. It will play a key role in ensuring full participation throughout the project, ultimately creating a meaningful and lasting impact for all involved.
The birth of this project would not have been possible without the generous support of the GEF Small Grants Programme, for which we are deeply grateful. We also appreciate the ongoing engagement with our posts since the inception of this initiative, and we look forward to continuing to share updates as the program progresses.

We made waves for World Ocean Day 🌊💚!
On June 8th, Day 1 of our celebrations, we descended upon the Ala River community in Akure, spreading awareness and taking action to protect our oceans and waterways 🌴🚮. We rolled up our sleeves and got to work, collecting plastics and waste, and ended up unblocking a bridge that had been clogged for far too long!

It was a day of hard work, but also of immense joy and fulfillment. Why? Because when we work together to sustain what sustains us, we feel the relief and satisfaction of knowing we're making a difference 🌿💕.

We're keeping this momentum going and we call on you to do the same!
Folow our page to support us and see how we keep fighting to protect our oceans 🌊💪
