A special issue of the Journal of Great Lakes Research, Lakes and Fisheries of Malawi: Reconciling Livelihoods and Aquatic Ecosystem Resilience, is now available online. A collaborative effort involving WorldFish scientists and the University of Minnesota Duluth, USA, this issue was guest-edited by WorldFish scientists Daniel Jamu and Neil Andrew. Daniel and Neil, along with fellow WorldFish scientist Edward Allison, also contributed to several articles in the journal. The publication is timely as it will provide invaluable contributions to the Center’s emerging CGIAR Research Program work in Africa, as well as its on-going and proposed work in Malawi.
