Time: 9:30 AM

Goals:

· To provide a global view of Marine Fisheries today and in the future
· To provide information on Peace Corps Marine Fisheries Goals
· To bring the individual volunteer's role into perspective
· To have participants brainstorm key problems and possible solutions concerning small scale fisheries in and around their site

Overview:

This session is to bring into focus the global view of the worlds' fish supply. Are we depleting the fish of our oceans? Do we need controls world wide? These are two of the many questions that are addressed. Discussion then moves to Peace Corps goals in marine fisheries, and finally brings into perspective the role of the individual volunteer.

Exercises:

1. Participants brainstorm problems and solutions
2. Lecture on global views, Peace Corps Goals, individual perspectives

Materials:

· Flip charts, markers, tape
