Status updates

• 2021-01-20. TARA: I think we will have something substantial to write about by June. Right now I am at Jaffrabad along with Rudra and Arti, the RA (GIDR) who is attached to the project. We have had a wonderful round of interactions with multiple stakeholders as part of the scoping exercise. February last week may be good for Gujarat review.  We would have completed Veraval-Porbandar by then.  
• 2021-01-20. Five fieldwork photographs from Tara's email.
• 2021-02-18. SUBMITTED Rapid Scoping Report Jafrabad -The Dried Fish Capital of Gujarat. TARA: "I have attached a draft note based on the rapid scoping we did at Jafrabad. It was planned more like a pilot to familiarise the team with the language, jargon, and basic mechanisms of the fisheries ecosystem.  It was very useful and our small team is really thrilled. We will make another trip in March for about a week to do a more detailed analysis. I have just compiled the field notes and insights together. There are obvious gaps in information and analysis; we will address them in the next visit.  It would be great if you could go through the note and share your comments. We are planning to do scoping of Veraval most probably between 23rd and 28th Feb."
• 2021-02-22. Rapid Scoping Report REVIEWED by Derek; report with comments emailed.
• 2021-03-08. TARA: "We have already completed the trips to Veraval Mangrol, and Okha. ... The consumption data has also been compiled."
