According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, roughly 4 in 10 people working in small-scale fisheries are women. Half are fishers themselves, and half process the fish, like Cary Badgie, from Gambia, whom the reporting team met as she salted and preserved the local catch. Female activists and entrepreneurs also underpin these fishing communities, as you'll hear from Senegalese climate activist Ndeye Yacine Dieng and local official and businesswoman Yayi Bayam Diouf, based in Dakar. Finally, host Ruxandra Guidi gets a perspective on a possible way forward for fishmeal production in a conversation with Libby Woodhatch, the executive chair of MarinTrust.

In a region characterized by high unemployment, food insecurity, and depleted fish stocks, many fishers are forced to migrate. The fishmeal plants dotting the coast have only exacerbated these existing problems, economist Rashid Sumaila notes, saying that “overfishing would still be an issue in West Africa without the plants. But the plants make them worse.” On this episode of The Catch, host Ruxandra Guidi and her reporting partners look into the migration crisis. Senegalese reporter Borso Tall shares her reporting from a village in the region of St. Louis directly impacted by a fishmeal plant. And Sumaila sits down with Guidi to share his take.We want to hear what The Catch means to you! Reach out to us at podcasts@foreignpolicy.com. Learn more about your ad choices.

Foreign fleets off the Gambia's shore are straining local fish stocks by “coming in at night and fishing illegally,” Sanyang fisher Alagie Gasama says. And the lack of enforcement, or even political will, by the government leaves these fishing communities to struggle on their own.

Gambians eat an estimated 55 pounds of fish a year, the most fish consumed per person in the region. This trend is shifting, though, with the arrival of the fishmeal plants, which directly affect these communities' food security. And as local activist Lamin Jassey points out, the fishmeal plant companies "never asked [the community], they never asked the young people" whether they wanted these plants in the first place. Join host Ruxandra Guidi as she continues her look at the fishmeal industry in West Africa and hears directly from community leaders on how they're advocating for change.

This week, Bali-based reporter Febriana Firdaus explores how Indonesia has been affected by environmental damage from land reclamation projects put in place to bolster the country's tourism industry. Land is a premium for this country of 17-thousand islands. And so the country is expanding its buildable land by dumping sand into the water, negatively impacting the small scale fisheries who live and work nearby. Firdaus tells host Ruxandra Guidi how these projects are hurting fishers both in Bali where the sand is dumped and in far away Lombok, where the sand is mined. The Catch is going LIVE in New York City later this month. Come be a part of our live audience on September 26th at 4:30 pm at Rockefeller Center's Studio Gather to hear from experts and fishers on how protecting our oceans can benefit everyone.

For today's episode we head to South Africa's southern coast, where journalist Rasmus Bitsch saw firsthand the tension between local populations and environmentalists over plans to expand designated marine protected areas. The country is moving forward to implement the United Nations' 30 by 30 goals, which seek to protect 30 percent of the world's oceans by the year 2030. While environmentalists contend that this will actually help increase fishing stocks, many local fishers and others are skeptical of government plans because of the country's history of apartheid and forced removal of locals from their land. Bitsch relays to host Ruxandra Guidi what he heard from both sides on what it will take to build trust and protect both marine habitats and local livelihoods. Learn more about your ad choices.

"The field recording of street vendors in an outdoor market in the Andean high plains of Chile, one of the driest deserts in the world, fascinated us. You could tell there was so much life in the people buying and selling, despite it being recorded doing the pandemic (much of what is sold or talked about in the recording had to do with Covid). So we wanted the composition (for saxophone and cello) to be as eclectic yet mournful as we imagined the field sounds." Calama market reimagined by Camila Guerra and Ruxandra Guidi.

2 Lives - Storytelling Podcast about the moments that transform us. "We all have 2 Lives. The second begins the moment we realize we have only one." We kick off our sixth season of 2 Lives December 13 celebrating stories of Arizona women.  When Maria del Carmen Parra Cano cooks, she thinks of her mom. It was her mother who taught her to cook. When Carmen battled diabetes, liver disease, and postpartum depression she turned to her mother's recipes -- corn mush and beans and cinnamon tea -- for comfort. Then she discovered if she tweaked the recipes just slightly, a miraculous thing happened. She could heal herself.  "At that point they took off the hyper tension medication and I no longer needed diabetes medication," María del Carmen Parra Cano said. "And it was just really, for me, it was an affirmation of food being used as medicine and healing my body. My husband, he's like, ‘we need to help other people. Like how can we help other people?' And within a month we had a food truck and that was the birth of Sana Sana Foods and sanar in Spanish means to heal."  Season 6 is sponsored by the Women's Foundation for the State of Arizona. As a Nonprofit organization, WFSA invests in creating social, political, and economic change to achieve an Arizona where women and girls of all identities thrive.

With new incentives to curb fishing subsidies, new marine protected areas, and new laws for the high seas, collectively these agreements could have a major impact on the health of the Earth's oceans and the viability of all fishing stocks.Today on The Catch we go behind the scenes—first to the United Nations, where we meet up with Lisa Speer from the Natural Resources Defense Council and learn about the work she's doing to help shape U.N. negotiations over a new treaty governing the high seas. Next we hear from Matt Rand, an oceans expert with the Pew Charitable Trusts, on what it takes to get various sides to come together to create and expand marine protected areas.Finally, host Ruxandra Guidi speaks with Rashid Sumaila, a fisheries economist, and the World Trade Organization's Santiago Wills about a new agreement on subsidies that's been decades in the making.

There's a place in rural St. Johns, Arizona, where teens who have encounters with officers of the law can play pool, make music, and get mentored instead of going to jail.

Sex! It's a short word, but a big topic. And one part of sex that's getting more and more attention these days are the people who provide sex-related services for others. This is “Babble On,” the podcast that asks “who's talking about sex workers and why?” Hosted by Vanessa Ontiveros. Social media is everywhere and everything nowadays. This has blossomed into a rich community of sex workers — some who would identify as activists, some who wouldn't — all publicly sharing about the things that matter to them. In this episode we'll talk to some of the sex workers who use social media to educate others. --- Follow Babble On on Twitter or Instagram @babbleonpod --- Episode Guests: Rebelle Cunt, founder of the Heaux History Project Twitter: https://twitter.com/RebelleCunt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebelwithoutabra/ Heaux History Project Twitter: https://twitter.com/HeauxHistory Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HeauxHistory/ femi babylon Twitter: https://twitter.com/thotscholar Website: https://www.thotscholar.com/ Sophia Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sophiaofficials?lang=en Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/xo.chacha.xo/ Sky Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skyhopscotch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skyhopscotch/ --- femi babylon's definition of proheauxism: https://www.patreon.com/posts/thotscholar-of-1-29836133?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=postshare Rosie's petition to stop censorship of sex workers of Tik Tok: https://www.change.org/p/tik-tok-stop-unnecessary-censorship-of-sex-workers-on-tik-tok?utm_content=cl_sharecopy_26363540_en-US%3A7&recruiter=1169710591&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=G%3ESearch%3ESAP%3EUS%3EBrand%3EGeneral%3EExact --- This podcast was produced by Vanessa Ontiveros for her senior Honors Project at the University of Arizona.

This is “Babble On,” the podcast that asks “who's talking about sex workers and why?” Hosted by Vanessa Ontiveros. Throughout this series, we've been hearing about the ways that sex works have seized the means of narration to tell their own stories. Today, we'll be looking to see if that boon in representation has translated to an increase in political power.

As long as there has been writing, there have been sex workers writing about their experiences. Like all communication, the advent of the internet made it easier for writers to get their messages out there.

Have you ever seen a general plan process include collecting community stories? That’s what A People’s Map of East San Gabriel Valley is doing, and in this week’s SGV Connect we talked with the creative team behind this ongoing project. A People’s Map project a part of LA County’s Department of Regional Planning effort to update the County General Plan. Because the region is so large they’re breaking up the process into parts by doing Area Plans to better focus on and identify an areas specific needs and character. The first area plan is being done in East San Gabriel Valley, which is loosely defined as the areas east of the 605, North of Orange County, West of San Bernardino County and south of the Antelope Valley. It includes 21 unincorporated  places like Rowland Heights, North Pomona and Walnut Islands. Fonografia Collective, a documentary and journalism storytelling team of Ruxandra Guidi and Bear Guerra, have done similar place-based storytelling projects around LA (Going Grey in LA; South of Fletcher: Stories from the Bowtie). While A People’s Map is more of a community engagement tool – the regional planning department is doing its own outreach and information gathering activities – the project is complimenting the work by giving the residents a space to be a part of defining what’s important in their community, said Guerra. “By giving them the space to share that personal story. . . by giving people the place to talk about the things that they value, the things that really matter to them about the place that they call home or the place that they spend a lot of time, in a way that wouldn’t come out in a typical planning meeting,” Guerra said. Fonografia collective will be collecting stories from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. March 16th at the Homestead Museum (15415 E. Don Julian Road, City of Industry, 91745). #SGV Connect is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the new Gold Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

The Cost of Deportations looks at deportation through the lens of one Central American nation that sends migrants north— Guatemala.  About two million Guatemalans live in the US. But, half of those here lack legal status, and tens of thousands of Guatemalans are deported back to their country each year. Thus, the question arises… are the countries these migrants left prepared for an influx of returnees? This week, journalist Maria Martin explores that and other questions— including whether some Guatemalans still plan to migrate north, even given the hardening of immigration policy in the US. Featuring: Carlos Lopez, Casa del Migrante Guatemala; Martin, Juan Sebastian, Rodolfo, and Hicer – Guatemalans who have migrated and been deported, or who have attempted to migrate to the US; Lisbeth Gramajo, anthropologist at Rafael Landivar University; Willie Barreno, chef and founder of Cafe Red Kat; Fredy Lopez, San Pedro Credit Cooperative; Don Julio, Q'anjobal Maya elder; Don Sebastian Gaspar, business owner; Father Mauro Verzeletti, director Casa del Migrante Guatemala and El Salvador;  Father Dionisio, pastor of San Pedro Catholic Church; Marvin Otzcoy, Guatemalan Fraternity of Northern Nevada.

For award-winning writer and former agent for the United States Border Patrol Francisco Cantú, the border is in his blood: his mother, a park ranger and daughter of a Mexican immigrant, raised him in the scrublands of the Southwest. His new book, The Line Becomes A River: Dispatches from the Border, is haunted by the stories he experienced both while working for the Border Patrol—where he hauled in the dead and delivered to detention those he found alive—and also as a civilian after he abandoned the Patrol and helped an immigrant friend return to Mexico to visit his dying mother. Join us for an eye-opening look at the devastation the border wreaks on both sides as Cantú shares this deeply personal work with journalist Ruxandra Guidi, who frequently reports on immigration from the U.S.-Mexico border region.
