    Options to reduce IUU fishing in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zanzibar 2011

    This Report is in support of the EU/COI SMARTFiSH Programme’s Result Area 2, which is to improve the Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) of fisheries in the western Indian Ocean and the Great Lakes. The overall objective of this report is to contribute to the reduction of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in the target countries of Kenya, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania (URT), but with a particular emphasis on unreported and unregulated fishing. Four main fisher ies are covered; the EEZ Tuna fisheries, the fisheries of Lake Victoria, the near-shore Industrial Prawn fishery and Coastal Artisanal fisheries. There is a particular focus on the small-scale fisheries operating along the coast and on Lake Victoria. The Report describes the current scope of data provision, management and use in these fisheries, and the fisheries management challenges faced by the three target countries, and it concludes with a number of recommendations for SMARTFiSH programmes intervention The report was prepared largely on the basis of interviews conducted in-country with officers from the respective fisheries departments and on the contents of literature provided by them. In addition, representatives of national research organisations, the Lake Victoria Fisheries Organisation and NGOs working on the coast were also able to communicate their perspective and current contributions to fisheries management and the reduction of IUU fishing. The management of EEZ tuna fish eries is the responsibility of the Deep-sea Fishing Authority (DSFA) in the URT. Although fisheries are generally not a Union issue, the recently operational DSFA represents both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar’s interests in EEZ fisheries management. In Kenya responsibility lies with the Ministry of Fisheries Development (KMFD), which is headquartered in Nairobi but has an important office in Mombasa. At a regional level, stock assessment work is undertaken by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (I OTC), of which both Kenya and URT are members. The provision of accurate and timely fisheries data to the IOTC is a sine qua non for the future sustainability of the tuna fisheries in the Indian Ocean and although data are also passed directly to the IOTC by fishing companies, it is important that member states have independent data sets to evaluate the performance of the fishery in their respective EEZs. This will become particularly relevant if national quotas become the favoured management ap proach in the region.

    The IFIP project started in January 1989 with the main objective of promoting a more effective and rational exploitation of the fisheries resources of major water bodies of Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. The project is executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United- Nations (FAO), and funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)for a duration of four years.There are eleven countries and three intergovernnental organisations participating in,the project: B urun di, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique,.Uganda, Rwanda, Tatizania, Zambia, Zaire, Zimbabwe, The Communaute Economique des Pays des Grands Lacs (CEPGL), The Preferential Trade Area for Eastern and Southern African: States (PTA) and the Southern African Development.Coordination Conference (SADCC).The immediate objectives of the project are: (i) to strengthen regional collaboration for the rational development and management of inland fisheries, particularly with respect to shared water bodi es; (ii) to provide advisory services and assist Governments in seotoral and project planning; (iii) to strengthen technical capabilities through training; and (iv) to establish a regional information base. This document has been prepared under the framework of the projec It gives basic information on the exploited fish stocks and fisheries of lakes in Eastern/Central/Southern Africa. It highlights problems of development and rational management of inland fisheries and gives several strate gies for solving those problems. The information contained in this document will be updiAted during the present phase uf the project. This document is issued in English.

    The Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) and FAO National Stakeholders’ Workshop on Fishing Effort and Capacity on Lake Victoria was held in Mukono, Republic of Uganda on 8 November 2006. The main objectives of the workshop were to share and include the national stakeholders’ perspectives and concerns that had been provided by national stakeholders at national workshops in the respective Partner States regarding the draft Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity on Lake Victoria and its Basin (RPOA-Capacity). Group discussion led to collective agreement to commit to the draft RPOA-Capacity and to request that the LVFO adopt the draft RPOA-Capacity and forward it to the Council of Ministers of the LVFO for endorsement. This document contains the report of the workshop, the reports of the Regional Task Force’s meetings immediately prior to and following the Regional Stakeholders’ Workshop and drafts of the RPOA-Capacity. This document and the actions adopted by the workshop participants serves as a basis for further work aimed at improving regional fisheries management of fishing capacity.
