For the attention of Governments
1. Efforts should be taken to follow-up on the implementations of all decisions and recommendations made at joint meetings.
Co-management in fisheries
1. The processes of co-management should be supported and strengthened by the ministries
2. Strengthening co-management the role of women, gender balance and equity should be given serious consideration and priority.
Kapenta fishery (the introduced Limnothrissa miodon)
1. Fisheries research should address the problem of the low level of the landed fish catches particularly during the cold season.
2. Management should resolve the issue of safety of fishing, pilferage and high cost of fishing equipment.
Artisanal fishery
1. The riparian governments of Lake Kariba, the Park and Wildlife Management Authority, NGOs, and IGOs including FAO should give support to the artisanal fishery in order to eliminate the following constraints:
High cost of equipment (nets, boats, twine);
Lack of extension services and data recorders;
Lack of financing mechanisms;
Unlicensed fishers contributing to IUU;
Difficult in water transport; and
Destruction of gillnets and other gears by other lake users.
Status of fisheries in the Zambia and Zimbabwe sector
1. The riparian governments and the PWMA of Zimbabwe should provide adequate funding and human resources to research, extension services, management authorities.
2. Policy and decision makers in the two countries should support periodical frame survey and catch assessment surveys which provide vital information needed for planning sustainable fisheries management and development.
Pollution and management degradation
1. Implement a system to monitor the impact on the following:
Mining activities;
urbanization;
the discharge of domestic, animal and industrial waste;
deforestation;
erosion;
pesticides;
aquatic weed infestation; and
occurrence of copper, lead, mercury, manganese, nickel and zinc.
Conservation of biodiversity and control of alien Species
1. Take the necessary measures to protect the indigenous species by controlling further introduction of herbivorous and predatory fish species in the Kariba system.
Development of culture- based fisheries around Lake Kariba and along the Zambezi River.
1. Adopt a precautionary approach in developing and management of aquaculture around Lake Kariba and along the Zambezi Basin.
Fisheries policy, legislation and management Plans
1. Provide the necessary financial and human resources to establish these tools and mechanisms.
2. Formulate viable national fisheries policies.
Monitoring control and surveillance (MCS)
1. Strengthen the MCS system in order to:
ensure compliance with fisheries management rules, and
collect scientific and other information relating to fishing activities to form foundation for the devising of sound fisheries management measures.
2. Provide adequate funding for the effective implementation of MCS.
International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU)
1. The fisheries management authorities of the two governments should take urgent steps to develop a National Plan of Action (NPOA-IUU) as well as a Regional Plan of Action (RPOA-IUU) for Lake Kariba to be implemented by the two countries.
Regional cooperation and collaboration in fisheries management
1. The riparian governments of Lake Kariba should inform the SADC and COMESA Secretariats about the urgent need for a fisheries desk officer to deal with fisheries matter on a day to day basis.
For the attention of FAO
1. To assist in organizing a third technical consultation on Lake Kariba in 2006.
