| | This Programme is targeted at the poorest sectors of society - small scale and subsistence fishing communities which have little or no alternative to fishing as an activity, and which depend on fisheries for their livelihood. Both food security and improved opportunities for income generation from sustainable resource exploitation are important factors in alleviating poverty. In the context of fisheries, better management is the key to achieving this. The FMSP addresses this need with a range of projects within a framework that is defined by two general programme purposes directed at capture and enhancement fisheries. For both capture and enhancement fisheries, the programme targets benefits at the community level and evaluates options for community participation in management and reduction of resource use conflict.

| | Author(s) / Editor(s) | MRAG | | Description | Tanzania is one of the greatest fisheries nations in Africa, ranking in the top 10 countries in Africa in terms of total capture fisheries production (FishStat, FAO). The country has an average annual fish landing of over 300,000 tons and an estimated production potential of 730,000 tons (Sawan Tanzania 2002; MNR&T/JICA 2002). The fisheries resource contributes 2.9% of the country’s GDP (Planning Commission 2000). Fisheries products, mainly Nile Perch fillets, shellfish (shrimps and lobsters) and crabs, are important export products of Tanzania, bringing in 10% of the nations foreign exchange earnings each year. As of 2001 to the present Tanzania is a net exporter of fish products. | | Keywords | MARINE FISHERIES; FISHERY RESOURCES; LIVELIHOODS | | Geography Keywords | TANZANIA | | Content Language(s) | English | | File Location | | | Publisher | MRAG - Integrated Management of Aquatic Resources | | Publication Location | London (UK) | | Publication Date | 2003 | |
