The little fish like the mangroves, the big fish like the little fish -- and we like the big fish. - Mr. Ahmed Shengabay, Eritrean fisherman/farmer.
I loved this line; hence this post. In the photo, Mr. Shengabay is on the right. To his left
is Mr. Simon Tecleab, an Eritrean marine scientist, and they are planting a mangrove seed in the Eritrean Red Sea village of Hirgigo. The photo is from AFP.
I came across this in an AFP story in Yahoo! about how Eritrean villagers, working with an American scientist, Dr. Gordon Sato, are planting mangroves along the coast to improve fishing yields, provide feed for livestock, fuel for their kitchens, and combat desertification. The project is apparently very successful. You can read more about this remarkable story here, here and here.
It occurred to me that this is the sort of post that would be ideal as a Tumblelog at Tumblr. All I wanted to do here was to quote Mr. Shengabay.
