Thank you gifts for contributors!!Hey everyone! Here are some examples of the watercolor paintings I will be giving to donors who contribute $100 or more!! Donors will be able to choose which species they'd like a painting of, and I will mail you a unique, signed watercolor painting as an expression of my gratitude for supporting my work in such a huge way. Pictured below are Plectropomus leopardus (Coral Trout) and Chlororus sordidus (Daisy Parrotfish). More to come!
Thanks again for checking my project out!!

About This Project

Using DNA to Protect Fiji's Fisheries

American Museum of Natural History

Fishing for food is extremely important in many rural areas of Fiji. However, as many reef fishers shift from eating their catch to selling the majority for profit, fishing pressures exerted on typically targeted fishes are increasing dramatically. My study will use genetic markers to uncover the movement patterns of five of these important species throughout the islands of Fiji, to help determine how to best protect these valuable fish stocks.
