Coding for Crayfish
David Shoshola has lived in Paternoster, a coastal fishing town north of Cape Town, for generations, fishing primarily for the abundant crayfish, or rock lobster. In spite of legal limits, in the 1950s poaching by gangs began to endanger both lobster populations and fisher livelihoods. To bring an end to it, Abalobi, a computer platform, was developed to trace where crayfish are caught and who catches them. —SJPH
