One Earth Future's Secure Fisheries program is dedicated to promoting peaceful and sustainable fisheries as a source of food security, economic security, and community resilience. We connect fisherfolk, fishing companies, investors, scientists, and government to support the fishing sector while mitigating root causes of armed conflict.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
- The co-management associations in Bander Beyla and Zeila have agreed on fisheries management plans, including size restrictions on lobsters and the designation of a marine protected area, that will support sustainable fisheries.
- Fisheries conflict research has drawn greater attention to the problem and helped to pinpoint causes of conflict in the region
- Re-started fisheries data collection around the country, in partnership with FAO and the Somali government
