harvest oysters from the branches of mangroves that flank the tributaries along the saltwater reaches of River Gambia. The women work from small canoes, and despite their work being water based, a great percentage of them cannot swim. After a number of fatalities members of the 'TRY Oyster Women Collective' are now being trained how to swim by the Gambian Navy, an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), funded by the EU and Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The women are first trained in a swimming pool and then in River Gambia around the areas they collect oysters.
