Monitoring of cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystems is a complex task, which time consuming and expensive due to the chaotic population dynamics highly heterogeneous distribution populations water bodies. The financial cost constitutes strong limitation for implementation long-term monitoring programs developing countries, particularly Africa. work presented here was performed framework an international project addressing sustainable management surface resources used production drinking three African countries. We tested potential citizen approach cyanobacterial blooms, are growing threat supply. This pilot study designed, implemented evaluated close interaction with Pasteur Institute Ivory Coast villages located on shoreline lagoon near Abidjan city. Based use smartphone application, citizens were invited report color changes, as these changes could reflect proliferations. A two-year experimentation period has shown that it possible mobilize local monitor blooms. data collected by consistent obtained classical over seven months, but appeared new approaches needed validate data. participatory also provided great improvements understanding awareness regarding quality bloom issues. Finally, we discuss some difficulties limitations our should be considered further implementations. Despite difficulties, suggests promising may complement

Abstract Understanding the potential of small water bodies (SWBs) will open greater opportunities in investment towards increased food and energy production. This study established carrying capacity for fisheries development SWBs eight counties Central seven Western Kenya. The was calculated using socio‐economic index (SI), trophic status (TSI), summaries limnological data from 74 SWBs. central region had a 72,447 t 37 sampled SWBs, whereas that western only 447 similar number sites forms part total national aquaculture potential. higher is attributed to relatively larger hydroelectric dams located area. To boost production with low capacities, restocking native endemic fish species, which require limited or no supplementary feeding, recommended. However, where depths reach 3.0 m more, optimises on intensive feeding good circulation, cage culture reared coupled strong local community association would be indexing holistic approach herein an integrative management tool

In this paper, we lean on experiences from South Africa as a point of departure for discussing the unrealized potentials and complications applying collaborative, transformative citizen science (CS). We first show value exploring community-based ecological restoration artistic approaches in development research. Building these empirical insights, outline ideas integrating CS into such research, not only to collect additional data, but way increase incentives capacities among both participants researchers, change mindsets across time institutional scales. Multiple interlinked Sustainable Development Goals are within reach, exemplified by monitoring advancement Clean Water, Life Land, Cities Communities—critical goals address current prospective demographic climatic changes context fast-expanding urban environments beyond.

Abstract Biodiversity monitoring in agricultural landscapes is important for assessing the effects of both land use change and activities that influence farmland biodiversity. Despite a considerable increase citizen science approaches to biodiversity recent decades, their potential farmland-specific contexts has not been systematically examined. This paper therefore provides comprehensive review existing involving on farmland. Using three complementary methods, we identify range programmes at least partially covering From these, develop typology eight programme types, reflecting distinctions types data collected nature volunteer involvement, highlight respective strengths limitations. While all can make substantial contributions monitoring, there scope further development—particularly through increased engagement farmers, whom receiving feedback own practices could help facilitate adaptive management.
