GOVERNANCE IN GUINEA
Fisheries are important in many coastal areas across the world, supplying food and a living for millions of people
Overfishing, as well as illicit, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, are important threats to the sustainability of these resources. IUU fishing is a serious problem that depletes fish populations, causes economic loss for genuine fishermen, and harms marine ecosystems.
Our Objectives
We are helping the establishment of sector-specific legislation and regulations, as well as the support of effective monitoring and enforcement methods. We are engaging local actors in fisheries management and the provision of training and instruction on innovative technical techniques.
The inclusion of local stakeholders in the fisheries sector’s policy reform process is an important component of the project. This entails the formation of governmental groups aimed at strengthening the legal framework of the fisheries sector, allowing for better monitoring, and reporting of illegal activities, and encouraging sustainable fishing practices.
GRID-Arendal, a Norwegian foundation and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) partner is working on projects to address some of these challenges. One such effort aims to strengthen fisheries governance while also lowering IUU fishing.
