INTRODUCTION Total value of production of SA fisheries industry is R7.5 billion = 0,3% of GDP Commercial fishing sector provides direct employment to ±26 500 people Aquaculture provides 1 850 direct employment opportunities Fisheries experienced considerable decline over last few years 4
INTRODUCTION: Challenges Limited Natural Resources Declining and collapsing stocks vs greater demand Access to Markets Global market conditions pose serious challenge Access to Financial Support Lack of funding support and limited funding from development finance institutions 5
INTRODUCTION: Challenges (continue) Climate Change Migration of natural resources from original habitat, leading to unemployment, poverty, etc Illegal Fishing Syndicated crime, over-exploitation of high-value species, corruption, poor compliance levels 6
INTRODUCTION: Strategic Overview Promote sustainable use of fisheries resources and recovery of depleted stocks through recovery plans and strategies for hake, abalone, WCRL, line-fish by 2018/19 Ecosystem approach for fisheries management - fishery specific research Implement NAPF; broadening scope of aquaculture sector 7
INTRODUCTION: Strategic Overview (continue National and International obligations; RFMO, BCC will be implemented Fisheries Implementation Strategy aligned to Outcomes 4, 7 and 10 contribute to job-creation, food security, small-holder development strategy Implement IFSS to coordinate and improve enforcement efforts, reduce illegal fishing 8
