The initiative began with outreach activities in selected coastal communities. Meetings with local leaders, fishing cooperatives, and womenβs groups were held to raise awareness about the program. Interested community members were invited to register, with a focus on inclusive participation across age and gender. Experts in aquaculture and marine ecology developed practical training materials tailored to local needs. Topics included sustainable lobster farming techniques, environmental stewardship, low-impact cage design, and basic business management. On-Site Training Sessions. The core of the program involved hands-on workshops conducted in coastal villages. These sessions covered: Construction and maintenance of floating cages (KJA). Eco-friendly feeding practices using local feed sources. Water quality monitoring and disease prevention. Harvesting techniques and post-harvest handling.
