A team of 8 of us were fortunate to attend the conference held in South Africa in October 2022.  

We presented 6 years of data on ‘Reef closures for day octopus (octopus cyanea) in Zanzibar; Community-based catch recording demonstrates benefits for octopus populations and fishers alike’.  We also presented at 2 special sessions on ‘gender considerations in local marine management’ and ‘community roles in reef restoration’.
