In 2017, a fortuitous meeting between a local fisherman, Isaac Moya, and marine biologist Boris Weitzmann led to the creation of the Sepia Project, aimed at reviving declining cuttlefish populations while supporting artisanal fishers.
The project fixes tree branches to the seabed to create stable surfaces for cuttlefish to lay eggs, an age-old method adapted to modern challenges like pollution and overfishing.
The use of underwater branches as incubators for cuttlefish eggs showcases a blend of ancient techniques and innovative practices, ensuring their survival in a changing marine ecosystem.
By encouraging fishers to collect and nurture cuttlefish eggs instead of discarding them, the Sepia Project reflects a community-driven approach to marine conservation, benefiting the fisheries economy.
