Five Cape restaurants highlight sustainable fish in their special meals on offer this weekend in partnership with ABALOBI's Fish with a Story initiative.
South Africa's small-scale fishermen are fighting for survival. Big companies dominate the industry and fish stocks are in decline. Now the Abalobi app connects fishers directly with end consumers, also creating a market for local fish species.
An app, developed by the NGO Abalobi, aims to put small-scale fishermen and customers in direct contact. Fishermen get better prices and diners get fresh fish from the region directly on their tables.
