马达加斯加的Vezo渔民被称为“海洋游牧民”, 正在采取措施保护马达加斯加西海岸外的一个群岛Barren岛。 Madagascar's Vezo fishermen, known as "sea nomads," are taking steps to protect the Barren Isles, an archipelago off Madagascar's west coast. 面对过度捕捞和气候变化造成的鱼类数量下降,Vezo人与英国一家非营利的Blue Ventures公司组成了一个集体,提议建立1 660平方英里的海洋保护区(MPA)。 Facing a decline in fish numbers due to overfishing and climate change, the Vezo have formed a collective with Blue Ventures, a British nonprofit, to propose a 1,660-square-mile Marine Protected Area (MPA). 这种海洋保护区将保护群岛免受工业捕鱼和石油/天然气开采的影响,同时允许传统捕鱼继续在指定地区进行。 This MPA would shield the islands from industrial fishing and oil/gas extraction while allowing traditional fishing to continue in designated areas. 该项目旨在保护海洋生物多样性和支持Vezo的生计。 The project aims to preserve marine biodiversity and support the Vezo's livelihood.
