DocumentReport on socio-economic aspects of the Gulf of Aden fisheries in the Republic of Djibouti 1982

No results found.The Djibouti coastline on the Gulf of Aden is about 242 kms long. The present catch is estimated at about 350 tons. There are about 286 fishermen who operate with 111 houris and sambuks of different shapes and sizes. They are based in Djibouti, Tadjouram Obock and Khor Anghar. The number of fishermen has increased during the past few years due to the drought conditions which have forced nomadic herdsmen to the coast. The fishermen have a very low standard of living. This is mainly due to the low productivity, high cost of living and large families. The fishermen's per capita income is less than two-thirds of the national average. A Fishermen Cooperative Society was established recently in Djibouti City with the objective of improving the socioeconomic conditions of fishermen. Although the subject has not been thoroughly examined it is believed that the main constraints in the fisheries sector are as follows: lack of a fisheries-related infrastructure; the low productivity of the tradit ional fishing methods; lack of credit facilities and technical services; lack of organised fish distribution and marketing systems within the country. Obock is recommended for the establishment of a Cooperative Fishing Centre as a pilot project where cooperative activities can be introduced and applied in due course in other areas.
