Fisheries Resource Management and Conservation

closed

The Fisheries Resource Management and Conservation Project for Yemen will contribute to achieve economic growth through the development of the fisheries sector. The project consists of the following components: Component 1) will strengthen the Ministry of Fish Wealth (MFW) resource management capacity to undertake more effective fisheries research, resource management and fish landing regulation activities at the governorate level. Component 2) will support the improvement of facilities and handling procedures at existing fish landing sites to avoid deterioration in fish quality due to unsanitary conditions, delays in handling and auctioning of fish at these sites as well as the shortage of ice needed to maintain fresh fish quality. Component 3) will assist cooperatives to strengthen their management skills and improve their ability to operate and maintain their physical assets. Component 4) will provide the Ministry of Fish Wealth (MFW) with support for project implementation, as well as assisting them in conducting technical and economic analysis of the need for future ports and landing sites along the Qusayer-Mukalla-Bir Ali corridor and the Red Sea Coast.
