We are recruiting a Graphic Designer

The Omali Vida Nón project is recruiting a Graphic Designer to provide graphic design services for the creation of Marine Protected Areas in São Tomé and Príncipe.

Rapid population growth has increased pressure on these habitats and their marine resources, resulting in the use of non-selective and destructive fishing techniques to maximise fish catches and meet the growing demand of the domestic market.

With the overall objective of protecting and securing marine biodiversity, fisheries sustainability and the livelihoods of families’ dependent on marine resources in São Tomé and Príncipe, the project "Establishing a network of marine protected areas in São Tomé and Príncipe through a co-management approach" started in 2018.
