The industry employs more than 222,741 small scale
full time fishers directly and about 4,021,000 people
are engaged in other related fisheries activities such as
fish processing, fish marketing, fish trade, boat
building and maintenance etc.
The sector accounts for about 10 % of the national
exports and also provides foreign earnings through
export of fish and fishery products.
Fisheries contribute by 30% of protein animal intake
The sector contributes by 1.6
 In MDG, fisheries contribute to goal no 1.

POLICY AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK
• The sector is guided by The National Fisheries Sector Policy
and Strategy Statements (1997)
• The policy is backed up by the Fisheries Act No. 22 of 2003
• the Act is supported by the Fisheries Regulations of 2009.
• The sector has:
• Marine Parks and Reserves Act, 1994 (Act No. 29 of 1994)

MANAGEMENT TOOLS
Monitoring Control and Surveillance (MCS)

Monitoring Control and Surveillance Centers established in most of the
Tanzania boarder areas and hot spot sites.

The main function is to reduce cross boarder fishing and fish trade among the
shared water bodies

Currently there are 23 established MCS centers
Beach Management Units
 Increased fishing pressure and destruction of the aquatic environment led to
the introduction of Beach Management Units (BMU).


The idea is to establish participatory resource management by involving local
fishing communities, in resource management. It’s a community participation
in fisheries management
Communities enhance a feeling of “ownership” among the community
members and motivate them to implement management and conservation
measures

Capacity building to BMUs and Village Government
leaders
 In collaboration with SEASENSE,




150 BMUs members and village leaders were trained on Economic,
Ecology and Governance from Mafia, Kilwa, Rufiji, Pangani and

were trained on sea turtles conservation and total of 22 turtles were
marked;
A total of 110 District Councilors and Ward Executive Officers were
trained on the status of marine endangered species, good leadership
and management of fisheries resources in the districts of Mafia,

In collaboration with WWF and SeaSense, Guidelines for fish camps
were proposed whereas consultative stakeholders’ workshop was
convened to gather concerns from all stakeholders. The document is at
final stages to get approval from the Ministry
IMPLIMENTATION CONT.
Strengthen Eco-system Approach to Fisheries
resources management
 A total of 631 Fishers and fisheries stakeholders from
Mkuranga (93), Temeke (130), Bagamoyo (288) and
Kinondoni (130) were sensitized on Ecosystem Approach to
Fisheries Management ;

17 District Fisheries Officers from Costal LGAs attended
workshop on how best the prepared Artisanal Pelagic
Fishery Management Plan can be implemented to achieve
long term sustainable pelagic fisheries resources
management and maximum benefit for the users.
IMPLEMENTATION CONT.
Monitoring and Follow-ups
An evaluation of the BMUs performance conducted
along the coast of Indian Ocean through the Consultant
from University of Dar es Salaam.
 The findings indicated that BMUs under RUMAKI
Project are performing well than BMUs outside the
project area;


It was proposed that all BMUs outside RUMAKI be
upgraded to enhance their performance.
IMPLEMENTATION CONT.
BMU Sustainable financing



BMUs were encouraged to apply for revenue collection
on behalf of the villages so that they can generate some
funds for their operational functions such as patrols
etc.
Currently, there11 BMUs in Rufiji District that have
been commissioned to collect revenue on behalf of the
villages.
Through this mechanism they will be able to generate
income for conservation purposes.
BUDGET ALLOCATION

DYNAMITE FISHING IN TANZANIA

The Ministry is continuing to
conduct regular patrols in
collaboration with other
stakeholders like District Councils,
Navy, Marine Police and BMUs.
INITIATIVES TOWARDS CURBING DYNAMITE FISHING




The Ministry is preparing the SWIOFish project, which
includes a component on combating dynamite fishing with
over US$ 1 million allocated.
A national taskforce was established by the government
to address dynamite fishing.
Tanzania has participated in training and patrols through
SMART Fish and IOC- programs and conduct various
stakeholder meetings to raise awareness
The National Fisheries Policy and legislations is under
review
INITIATIVES TOWARDS CURBING DYNAMITE
FISHING CONT.

Various national patrols conducted in Tanga, Lindi, Mafia and
Mtwara under the IOC-Smart-fish Project.

Support formation and formalization of BMU networks &
strategies to combat dynamite fishing.

BMUs in Temeke, Rufiji-Kilwa boundary and Mtwara were
facilitated to form anti-dynamite fishing networks. This was done
under the WWF-EU Fisheries Co-management Project. These
networks involved representatives from Fisheries Division, Police,
Navy and district magistrates to ensure approach is co-ordinated

Continuing Support of implementation of Fisheries Management
plans of BMUs regarding anti-dynamite strategies.

Establish Coast Guard (para military unit)
POSSIBLE PROPOSED INDICATORS
 Establishment
of new BMUs
 Formal
registration BMUs by Director of
Fisheries
 Facilitation
of the re-election of BMU
committees
 Skills
on governance, leadership, fisheries
management, policy and legislation.
PRIORITY AREAS
 Strengthening
BMUs capacity in Management of
Fisheries resources
 Curbing
dynamite Fishing in Marine waters and
other illegal fishing practices in all water bodies
 Review
of Legislations
 Improve
products
value addition to fish and fishery
CHALLENGES





Insufficient knowledge of the resource base;
Overcapacity due to open access leading to excessive fishing
pressure on fisheries resources;
Inadequate human and financial resources; and technology to
effectively manage fisheries resources;
Increased illegal fishing and trade practices;
High post-harvest loss in various fish species attributed to
poor infrastructure, inappropriate technologies in fish
handling, processing and distribution;
