Descripción
A brief description of the present fisheries situation in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden area is reviewed in this document. It is indicated that the fisheries is predominantly traditional and that the potential resources offer sufficient scope for increasing much needed fish supplies. Eighteen project proposals are presented covering all main areas of fisheries development. Fifteen of these projects are developmental and the remaining three are intended to be commercially-oriented investment proje cts. The proposals specifically cover fields that most need assistance including training, resource development, marketing, development of small-scale fisheries and statistics. They require 29.3 years of activities at a total cost of about US$ 19 million. The regional approach is used for executing these projects but, implementation on a national basis may be considered. Fisheries development in the area will be dependent on external help and assistance, therefore, these proposals are brought to the attention of donors interested in developing fisheries in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. At present UNDP/FAO/RAB/77/008 is the only regional framework concerned with developing fisheries in the area.
