MARINE FISHERIES. ARTICLE 30

MARINE FISHERIES. Africa has a coastline of over 30,000 km and is adjacent to vast expanses of oceans and seas. Maritime zones under Africa’s jurisdiction total about 13 million square kilometres including territorial seas and approximately 6.5 million square kilometres of the continental shelf. The marine fisheries production is estimated at 6.4 million metric tons, contributing to 60 % of Africa’s total fish production, with a significant portion destined to overseas export markets. Marine fishing is conducted mainly in Africa’s large marine ecosystems (Figure 2), namely: Canary Current large marine ecosystem (CCLME), Guinea current large marine ecosystem (GCLME), Somali Current large marine ecosystem (SLME), Agulhas current large marine ecosystem (ALME), Benguela Current large marine ecosystem (BCLME) and the Mediterranean Sea large marine ecosystems (MSLME). In view of the highly priced fish species in these ecosystems, e.g. Tunas, shrimps, cephalopods (e.g. octopus, cuttlefish and squid), some demersal finfish species, this subsector contributes to revenue generation and hence economic growth on the continent, and also supports Africa’s active role in international fish trade (about 5 US$ billion per year in terms of fish export.

MARINE FISHERIES. Haiti’s marine fisheries are largely non-mechanized, small-scale commercial operations that practice severe overfishing. Dramatic commentary on this problem appeared in an article in September 2011 in the New York Times about Haiti’s “Ailing Reef,” which linked significant reef die-offs to overfishing. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, director of an NGO which first noticed the die-off, told the Times, “It’s probably the worst overfishing I’ve seen anywhere in the world.” Haiti’s most productive fishing grounds are in the south, where there are thousands of fishermen and boats, including fiberglass boats, of which some 36% are motorized. Fishing contributes greatly to employment, food security and the local economy. A limited fisheries value chain has developed in the southern region, dominated by middlemen or intermediate buyers of fish, who have been successful in supporting fishermen with equipment and loans. Because they are poorly organized and have a highly perishable catch, the fishermen are vulnerable to entering inequitable relationships with buyers and becoming indebted to them, which is a common problem among artisanal fishers worldwide. How can this situation be changed? First, an improved value chain is needed with organized fishermen, designated landing sites with basic infrastructure (following pilot test sites, with the full backing of fishers’ associations), improved processing and handling of fish, and better marketing. Strong fishermen’s associations could improve marketing and reduce the number of middlemen, giving more income to the fishermen. This arrangement will be important in the larger CMBP. Increased fish production around the southern peninsula of Haiti is reported to benefit from installation of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) in the deeper waters, which attract high-quality pelagic fish. There is much debate about the impact of FADs in this region, but they, along with improved equipment and motorized boats, have contributed to increasing Haiti’s fish production to 16,000 tons in 2010 (personal communication, Director, DFAQ), a doubling of the estimated production from 2008 (Masters, 2010). Unfortunately, there are no catch data to support these estimates, and they appear to be baseless and made only to support the current fisheries project involving the DFAQ. How much can small-scale fishermen catch in a year? In other countries that collect some statistics, such as the neighboring country the Dominican Republic, artisanal fishermen may catch...
