In Ende, octopus fishers from Mourongga Village and the Arubara community soon followed suit and also started to monitor their octopus catches, supported by Tananua Flores Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe data collection process starts when fishers come to sell their octopus,\u201d said Lina, an octopus buyer and now data collector from Gangga Satu Village, \u201cWe collect data about the octopus, such as the fisher\u2019s identity, the size of the octopus and where it was caught. In my village, octopus buyers (or their relatives) also usually become octopus data collectors. When a buyer becomes a data collector, it makes data collection much more effective,\u201d Lina concluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blog.blueventures.org\\\/en\\\/anjangsana-mitra-learning-through-community-exchanges-in-north-minahasa\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"900\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 895px; height: 313px;\"><div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 474px; height: 317px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/en\/anjangsana-mitra-learning-through-community-exchanges-in-north-minahasa\/1-img_4296_maxwidth_1920_maxheight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24034\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/1-IMG_4296_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1620,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/1-IMG_4296_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-2-536x357.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/1-IMG_4296_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-2-725x483.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/1-IMG_4296_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-2-470x313.jpg\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" align=\"left\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 470px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 470\/313;\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tiled-gallery-caption\">By monitoring their catch, fishers can gain a deeper understanding of their fishery | Photo: Garth Cripps<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 421px; height: 317px;\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/en\/anjangsana-mitra-learning-through-community-exchanges-in-north-minahasa\/p1190018_maxwidth_1920_maxheight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"24039\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/P1190018_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1440,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/P1190018_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-476x357.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/P1190018_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-644x483.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.blueventures.org\/media\/2021\/02\/P1190018_maxWidth_1920_maxHeight_1080_ppi_72_quality_60-417x313.jpg\" width=\"417\" height=\"313\" align=\"left\" title=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 417px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 417\/313;\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tiled-gallery-caption\">Women are increasingly involved in fisheries through data monitoring, raising their voice in the conservation space | Photo: Charlie Gough<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following a discussion about the octopus measurement process, which also covered the changes in condition and size of octopus observed by fishers during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the participants were inspired by the efforts of other communities.
