I\u2019m privileged to operate out of Norway, where despite our own perception sometimes, everybody is well off. When fishing gear is lost here, it does create harm to the ecosystem in many ways, but for the fisher, It\u2019s more just \u201cannoying\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For artisanal fishers in less privileged countries, gear loss takes a much heavier toll. These small-scale, traditional fishers often lack the financial means to absorb the losses incurred due to gear loss. Their livelihoods are profoundly impacted, making it an issue of immediate survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Human Dimension<\/strong><br>These fishers are not just numbers; they are individuals and families who depend on the ocean for their daily sustenance. Gear loss can lead to food insecurity, economic instability, and loss of access to essential resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are trying to create projects that aims to address this pressing issue, ensuring that these coastal communities have the tools and support needed to mitigate gear loss effectively. By doing so, we strive to empower artisanal fishers, protect marine ecosystems, and foster sustainable fishing practices with tools not otherwise available to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reach out if you want to get involved, or just help \ud83d\udce3 spread the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7836.webp 640w,https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7836-300x225.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7836.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7836.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7836-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-3682 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;width:840px;height:auto\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7739.webp 480w,https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7739-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7739.jpg\" height=\"640\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7739.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7739-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-3683 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7844.webp 480w,https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7844-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7844.jpg\" height=\"640\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7844.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7844-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-3684 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1.webp 480w,https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-225x300.webp 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1.jpg\" height=\"640\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"wp-image-3685 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3681,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ceo-blog\/3678"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ceo-blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ceo-blog"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resqunit.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
