"This experience helped me to learn more about data, surveys, and to be more confident in using many tools for my future research in Madagascar. I'm also ready to share this knowledge with my colleagues in Madagascar."

Fluorida Razafimanirisoa, a student at the Institut Halieutique et des Sciences Marines of the University of Toliara in Madagascar, attended the first-ever Coastal Ocean Environment School in Western Indian Ocean (COES-WIO) in September in Mombasa, Kenya. From fieldwork, laboratory analysis, data interpretation, and presentations, COES-WIO delivered a hands-on learning experience in ocean science.

Happening in the framework of the #OceanDecade and hosted by the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM), Pwani University and Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Government of Flanders, University of Michigan, Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association and ECOP Africa, this 7-day training provided 75 early-career ocean professionals from across the Western Indian Ocean region with an opportunity to hone their practical skills while connecting with experts and building networks with fellow ocean scientists. 

The Ocean Decade Capacity Development Facility and the OceanTeacher Global Academy provided additional support to enable early-career ocean professionals, or #ECOPs, to attend this training, with a focus on ecological survey techniques and data management. 

In this video, Fluorida tells us what she gained from this training, how it helped her grow as a young ocean scientists, and how she will share what she learnt with her colleagues in Madagascar.
