Assessment of the Prawn Fishery, Bycatch, Resource use Conflicts and Performance of the Turtle Excluder Device.
Major issues of concern on this fishery include open access to the resources and lack of information on exploitation especially the maximum sustainable level for the fishery. The limited monitoring undertaken is not adequate to assess the state of the resource and to determine the negative effects, which trawling may have had on the other resources and the environment. Communities living at the vicinity of the trawling grounds have over the years complained about the negative impacts of trawling on the resources and their livelihood. To address this concern, a stakeholders meeting was convened in November 2000 to seek for a lasting solution to the existing conflicts. The stakeholders consultative meeting identified several issues that needed urgent attention.
