La connaissance locale est inestimable : Les communautés possèdent souvent une compréhension approfondie de l'écosystème des mangroves, de ses dynamiques et des pratiques d'utilisation durable. Cette connaissance doit être valorisée et intégrée dans les stratégies de conservation.

La dépendance économique influence l'engagement : Les communautés dont les moyens de subsistance sont directement liés aux mangroves sont des acteurs clés de leur conservation, mais leurs besoins doivent être pris en compte et des alternatives durables proposées si nécessaire.

La restauration écologique réussie nécessite l'implication locale : Les projets de restauration des mangroves ont plus de chances de succès s'ils sont conçus et mis en œuvre en collaboration avec les communautés locales, en tenant compte de leurs connaissances et de leurs pratiques.

• Some data must remain private and cannot be shared
• Training programs must consider technological and language barriers to ensure equal participation from all stakeholders.
• Sustained funding is crucial to maintain educational programs and outreach campaigns over time.

• People in some locality have strong difficulty accessing technology.
• Basic knowledge on smartphone and computer can be challenging for some worker on conservation in the field.
• Maintaining tech tools can be a lot harder than building it
• Some good solution may create worst problem : precise location of lemur can improve tourism and it's monitoring but can also increase the threat, it will be easier to capture.
   

A database on its own is a great tool but need some expertise and knowledge to be shared and used properly. The funders organization have not been financing database projects for the past two years. 

Lessons Learned

1. Technology Access: Ensuring that local communities have access to the necessary technology was a challenge. We've learned the importance of starting with accessible, mobile-friendly versions of the platform before moving to more complex VR systems.
2. Community Engagement: Engaging local communities from the start is essential. Many community members initially had limited understanding of the park’s importance. Providing them with practical and relatable content helped raise awareness and fostered a deeper sense of responsibility for conservation.
3. Content Creation and Localization: Involving local experts in the creation of educational content is crucial. It ensures the information is not only accurate but also culturally relevant, which increases user engagement and knowledge retention.

1. Conditions for Success:
   • Availability of consistent sunlight: Adequate sunlight exposure is essential for the efficiency of solar panels, especially in coastal and remote fishing areas.
   • Reliable solar technology: High-quality solar panels and energy storage systems must be available to ensure long-term durability and reliable energy supply.
   • Affordability and accessibility: The cost of solar-powered equipment must be affordable for local fishers and aquaculture operators, possibly with subsidies or financing options.
   • Infrastructure for installation and maintenance: Access to skilled technicians for installation and regular maintenance of solar systems is crucial.
2. IoT-Based Monitoring Tools
   Conditions for Success:
   • Reliable internet and mobile connectivity: Strong internet or mobile networks are essential for real-time data transmission and monitoring, particularly in remote areas.
   • User-friendly technology: The system must be easy for fishers to operate and understand, even for those with limited technical skills.
   • Access to affordable devices: Fishers need affordable IoT devices and sensors, which may require funding, subsidies, or low-cost options.
   • Data security: Ensuring the security of the collected data from both environmental and business perspectives is critical for trust and regulatory compliance.
3. Sustainable Product Design
   Conditions for Success:
   • Availability of eco-friendly materials: The use of sustainable and durable materials for product development is essential for minimizing environmental impact.
   • Designing for durability and low maintenance: Products should be designed to last under harsh marine environments, with minimal maintenance required.
   • Regulatory support: Compliance with environmental standards and regulations is important to ensure the sustainability of the products.
   • Market demand for sustainable solutions: There must be a growing demand for sustainable products in the fishing and aquaculture industries to make the solution economically viable.
4. Training and Capacity Building
   Conditions for Success:
   • Community engagement: Ensuring local buy-in and participation from fishers and aquaculture operators in training programs is crucial for their success.
   • Access to training materials and experts: Skilled trainers and accessible learning materials are necessary to impart the knowledge needed to use new technologies effectively.
   • Ongoing support and follow-up: Providing continuous support and periodic refresher courses to ensure that the training is fully integrated into daily operations.
   • Government and industry support: Collaboration with local governments and fishing industry bodies can ensure that training is recognized and encouraged.
5. Public-Private Partnerships
   Conditions for Success:
   • Collaboration and trust among stakeholders: Strong partnerships between governments, private companies, and NGOs are essential for pooling resources, expertise, and policy support.
   • Clear policy frameworks: Government policies and incentives that support sustainable practices and innovation in the fishing and aquaculture sectors help drive adoption.
   • Access to funding and investment: Secure funding for research, development, and scaling is necessary to ensure the success and scalability of the solutions.
   • Alignment of goals and interests: All partners must share a common vision for sustainability and economic growth in the fishing and aquaculture industries.
6. Market-Driven Innovation
   Conditions for Success:
   • Strong market demand: There must be a clear demand for sustainable products in the fishing and aquaculture markets, incentivizing operators to adopt them.
   • Competitive pricing: Bluepsol’s products need to be priced competitively to attract adoption, especially by small-scale fishers who may have limited budgets.
   • Marketing and awareness campaigns: Effective communication of the benefits of sustainable products to the fishing community and customers is key to creating market demand.
   • Adaptability of solutions to local contexts: Bluepsol must tailor its products to meet the specific needs and conditions of different fishing regions, ensuring relevance and practical usability.

By addressing these conditions, Bluepsol’s building blocks can thrive and have a significant impact on improving sustainability and efficiency in the fishing and aquaculture sectors.
