Economic Relief for Fishermen During COVID-19  tourism lockdowns

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the ecotourism sector really hard. The cast-net fishermen who showcased the unique 'Cooperative Fishing' culture with the dolphins have lost their livelihood overnight and the visitor count has not recovered since. To discourage them from converting into illegal electric fishermen, we help them sell these souvenir items online. These dolphin sculptures and replica nets are handcrafted by recognized 'Cooperative Fishermen' and under normal circumstances, sold onsite to tourists. We are collaborating with passionate students from the 'Youth Charity Organization Myanmar' to create a platform and sell them online. The proceeds are used to support the fishing communities and field conservation activities.
