Fish for gas- the challenge for Blanchisseuse fishermen.mp4

In November 2011, 11 community members from Blanchisseuse participated in an exercise to document the challenges in the fishing industry in their community. Blanchisseuse is a small fishing village located on the north coast of Trinidad (Trinidad and Tobago).
The participants conducted a problem analysis to understand the challenges, created a storyboard, captured the video on the Motorola Defy smartphone provided by BG Trinidad and Tobago, edited the video with technical assistance from the University of the West Indies mFisheries Team and provided the music for the video. The participatory video was used to share the challenges of the Blanchisseuse fishing industry with decision-makers in Trinidad and Tobago in a meeting held on November 30, 2011.
The small demonstration project was funded by the International Development and Research Centre (IDRC). Raynaldo Phillips of the Forestry Division also offered advice on capturing videos. The project was implemented by CANARI and the UWI mFisheries Team.
