Fieldwork in the Floodplain

Fish caught in flood plain

Our Cameroonian MORSL research team in is currently conducting fieldwork in the Logone Floodplain, collecting data for the social, fishery, and hydraulic models that we are developing. 

In addition, the visual anthropologist Mouazamou Ahmadou, Maroua University, is filming the fishing actitivities in the floodplain and interviewing Kotoko and Musgum fishermen about their livelihood strategies and the changes that they have preceived in the floodplain in the last decades. The picture is from Mouazamou.
