EcoFisheries
EcoFisheries is an innovative initiative of Mr. Prodip Kumar Dam, currently working as the Senior Upazila Fisheries Officer at Dacope Upazila under Khulna district of Bangladesh. This inclusive working idea is generated to protect, conserve, and restore the aquatic biodiversity of the natural waterbodies under his jurisdiction by discouraging the dumping of plastics and other non-biodegradable materials in open spaces that might directly or indirectly catalyze the mix-off into the waters. EcoFisheries has been promoting the to-do(s) and not-to-do(s) about the plastic pollution in the natural waterbodies! Here you can discover some of those clicks while working in the ground.
