Good day, I am a research officer (Socioeconomist) with the Kenya Marine and
Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI), based in Mombasa-Kenya. KMFRI is a
government parastatal mandated to conduct research into aspects of all the
aquatic bodies (both marine and freshwater) within the country, as well as
on the communities that rely on these aquatic resources for their
subsistence and commercial welfare. My research basically involves
gathering and analysing data from the stakeholders in Kenya's aquatic
environments, particularly rural coastal (fishing) communities.
I am very keen to develop both my data collection and (in particular) my
data analysis skills, and in this regard wish to inquire as to whether your
organization, or any other that you may know of, offers any training courses
in Marine/Fisheries Socioeconomics? If not, I would be most appreciative if
you would provide me with any written material relating to (Marine)
Fisheries Social Science Data Analysis methodology.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
