Ahamad Adnaf: Social Work for Marine Conservation in Sri Lanka

Ahmad Adnan is a final-year social work student and Founder of MarSow (Marine Social Work), a founder-led grassroots initiative established in 2025 to connect professional social work with marine conservation in Sri Lanka. In this episode of Resilience Tracks, he discusses his inspiration for studying social work and his final-year research project, Ocean Renewal, focused on reutilizing fish waste into useful products as a circular economy solution. The conversation explores his work with fishing communities, including efforts to develop modern fishing nets to reduce harm to mangrove ecosystems, and broader concerns about destructive fishing practices and their impacts on coastal environments.Connect with AhamadLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahamed-adhnaf/Host: Noveera QambarEditor: Stephanie FroebelSocial Media: Brooke HartFollow the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/resiliencetracks/
