Catto Fellow Brett Jenks is scaling up his efforts with Fish Forever to share sustainable conservation models that enable small scale fisheries replenish and maintain their fish stocks. Overfishing is a serious global problem that endangers the billion people who depend on fish to survive. Brett hopes that the adoption of these models will allow local populations in developing countries to work together to regulate their own fishing. By doing this, Brett's aim is to put 20% of coastal fisheries in several developing countries on a path to full recovery by 2020. His venture has already encouraged Belize to make nationwide changes to environmental policy, paving the path for long-term sustainability. Recently, his worked was recognized with the prestigeous Rose-Walters Prize for Environmental Activism.Â
