Resumen
Descripción
The fisheries subsector in Uganda contributes three percent to gross domestic product ( and 12 percent to agricultural GDP, providing incomes, employment, and export revenue However, declining fish stocks increasingly threaten the livelihoods of fishing dependent communities, in particular those of women and youth Most of their livelihood activities do not enable them to recover from stresses and shocks, and do not enhance the acquisition of assets without degrading natural fish stocks Their livelihoods have been further threatened by overfishing and unfavourable high competition for fishing grounds as a result of the overcapitalization of fishing As a result, their current core livelihood activities remain chronically unsustainable.
